Pinecrest and Ponce-Davis
Private dinners and celebrations for larger residential properties in Pinecrest and Ponce-Davis.
Pinecrest and Ponce-Davis are made for gatherings with room to breathe: wide lawns, tall oaks and royal palms, generous pool decks, and homes on lots of an acre or more. It’s the kind of setting where a family dinner can easily become a tented celebration for a few hundred guests. Mina’s Catering brings private chef-style menus and a thoughtful, attentive team to homes across Pinecrest and Ponce-Davis, from the wooded estates of High Pines to the larger properties along Old Cutler Road. We take care of the food, the service, and the small details, so you can spend the evening with your guests instead of in the kitchen. Whether it’s dinner for ten or a celebration for two hundred, every menu is made for you.
Private multi-course dinners: plated, chef-driven menus served at your table, in the dining room or out on the loggia.
Cocktail receptions: passed hors d’oeuvres, raw bars, and bartenders, perfect for an evening on the lawn or around the pool.
At-home weddings and milestone celebrations: anniversaries, birthdays, engagements, vow renewals, and coming-of-age celebrations.
Large lawn and tented events: full-service dinners and receptions designed around your property, with tent and rental coordination.
Holiday season and graduation celebrations: hosted holiday dinners and parties, plus high school and college graduation gatherings.
Brunches and wellness gatherings: lighter, ingredient-focused menus for daytime events.
Catering Across Pinecrest & Ponce-Davis
We cater events throughout Pinecrest and Ponce-Davis, from quiet, tree-lined streets to large private estates. Here are a few of the areas where we often work:
-
A residential pocket between Coral Gables, South Miami, and Pinecrest, known for large lots, mature trees, and estate homes set back from the street. We design events that use the full property, from the front drive to the back lawn.
-
Neighboring Ponce-Davis, with similarly spacious lots, lush canopy, and many homes behind private gates. We plan service and setup around long driveways and on-site parking so arrivals feel effortless.
-
Larger homes and estates east of US-1, near the scenic Old Cutler corridor. A natural setting for garden dinners and tented receptions, and we plan for the heat and evening humidity so every course arrives at its best.
-
Family homes on generous lots near parks, schools, and Pinecrest Gardens. Ideal for graduation parties, birthdays, and relaxed family gatherings of every size.
