Who knew the topic of food allergens/dietary lifestyles could be so compelling, but Tracy Stuckrath with Thrive Meetings and Events not only makes sense of it, but even makes learning about it fun!

Culy Warehouse was the perfect urban element for the “Elements of Earth, Fire, Water, & Air” bash most recently enjoyed by 1100 revelers. The three warehouses, including an enormous outdoor space (let’s not even talk about those permits!) were individually designed to encompass each classical element.
In the Earth room a palette of chocolate brown & mossy green set the tone, which was complimented with local and sustainable components of the earth; including a Living Tree that creept around the room.
The Fire room was, well, on fire and appeared in constant movement! The ceiling was low allowing for the hot red glow to truly ignite. We used a combo of tangerine, orange, copper and amber satins to accentuate our food presentation. Fire dancers wowed the crowd! (and started a small fire!!)
The Water&Air room was in direct contrast to Fire in it’s extra tall floor to ceiling white and bright splendor. Clear lucite tables and wisps of white feathers – simple as that with such huge impact!
The outdoor lounge space was like carving out a fourth warehouse – but in the streets of San Diego. How cool is that!?!

One of our own had a beautiful wedding in early November.Diego has been a key member of the Crown Point Catering team for nearly a decade now. His un-wavering commitment to this organization has contributed to our success tremendously.
Diego and his beautiful bride Rona were married November 8th, 2010 at Julie’s house in Pacific Beach . Although the weather in the early morning looked to be tragic, the sky’s opened up with sunshine for the ceremony and reception. Congratulations you two. All the Best from the Crown Point Catering Team.
Annual Fundraiser 2010
The Gala for Sundt Memorial’s annual fundraiser this October was elaborate but eloquent. With gourmet food and a quorum of community leaders the Sundt Gala was a magnificent production. Live camera crews added an air of seriousness to an event vital to the future of many teens in San Diego and around the country. The Sundt Memorial Foundation is responsible for providing many teens with a future; embracing their vision, “for kids to grow up with a steady stream of natural high messages, inspiring a culture of healthier, drug-free youth across the country.”
Our staff provided our gourmet culinary services with a professional and artistic manner. Omar Guido coordinating with Kim Prendergast and many other valuable key people put into real life the vision that Sundt Memorial Foundation had for their annual Gala and Natural High program
The Southern California Meetings & Events Magazine has honored CPC for the second year in a row as the Best Caterer of the Year. Thank you for everyone who voted and all of team members who made this possible.
Southern California Meetings and Events Magazine says, “Emitting good taste and polished presentation, Crown Point Catering excels in delivering lavish spreads and custom creations. Owner Vicki Hamilton is committed to sustainability, seeing to it that what’s served is created with the freshest of local produce and dairy products. Uniformed staff is available to enhance small private parties, or to smoothly handle an event of up to 4,000 in and around San Diego. Twenty-seven years of unfailingly impeccable service and quality food has earned this company both high regard among peers and clients-and this award twice in a row.”
Rady’s Children’s Hospital opened a new wing called the Acute Care Pavilion. This new wing is state of the art and will prove to revolutionize hospital designs around the U.S. It is deemed a “green” building with the entire medical “bells and whistles.” Crown Point Catering was honored with being a part of this grand event.
Business was steady throughout September and although we had blocked the week of September off to new parties, we could not turn down business; needless to say on top of lunch for 2,000 and a 10-station party for 700 people we still took on new clients that weekend. For 72 hours straight we had people working in the kitchen making things happen. Thursday night we had a decent size party at the USS midway. The two trucks returned to the kitchen at 1:00 in the morning; they left the next morning before 6:00am loaded with supplies for 2,000 sack lunches! Most of the staff worked doubles that day as we had a sit down dinner that evening. Saturday morning it started all over again as those of us who got a few hours of sleep the night before (some stayed up all night, washing dishes, unloading, re-loading, and preparing the kitchen for Saturday) managed to make it into the kitchen in the morning to prepare for our 10-station onslaught at Rady’s that evening.
The new Children’s Hospital wing was a grand opening to say the least. There were 10 stations set up with food, half a dozen bars (with glowing cocktail glasses), and a live music performance by a choir of Children’s Hospital former patients. The event was most successful.
