As we’ve made it out of April, that means we're on to fairer weather in May. And in Cincinnati, May — besides being baseball time — typically means one thing: graduation time. High school students, university students, and even those adorable little preschoolers are moving up into a bigger school, and who doesn’t like to celebrate this momentous occasion? You may have just assumed that the Raffel’s Catering team only provides catering services for weddings, but that simply isn’t the case. When you’re looking for Cincinnati graduation catering (or tri-state or Blue Ash graduation catering, for that matter), we offer you an unparalleled dining experience.

With the plethora of menus we offer you, we can allow even the pickiest of eaters to dine in style when you choose us to take care of your Cincinnati graduation catering services or your Blue Ash graduation catering services. From formal events to a backyard cook out, the Raffel’s Catering team takes care of graduation catering so you can focus on the more important aspects of a graduation party. (These would be, of course, the mountain of presents you’ll be receiving and the endless questions of “So what do you plan on doing with your life now?”)

To provide your 2015 graduate with the most delicious of meals, we’ve highlighted some of our best-loved tri-state, Cincinnati graduation catering services and a few of our menus below.

•     Grill-Out buffet
There is no better way to enjoy the fair weather (and your graduate’s accomplishments) than by bringing the party outdoors. As you’ve probably made this graduation party a family affair, you’re going to need an abundance of food to feed everyone. With our grill-out buffet menu, we offer you two grilled meats per person. And we have the meatiest menu in town for Cincinnati graduation catering! Whether you want all-beef burgers, brats, metts, or hotdogs — you name it — we have them all. (We can even indulge your vegetarian relatives with our veggie burgers.) You also are able to choose among our tasty offerings of both hot and cold sides, add-ons, and anything else you can think of to make a graduation grill-out the best way to celebrate your school milestone, whether it be completion or advancement. We can even coordinate a pickup and delivery schedule to fit your needs.

•     Signature Grill-Out menu
If you want to go more formal with your celebration, utilizing our Blue Ash catering services to have our signature grill-out menu at your graduation festivities is the way to go. Your picks of entrée selections range from mesquite smoked barbecue pork, marinated chicken breasts, fresh sirloin burgers, lamp chops, a variety of kebabs to vegetarian selections as well. This particular menu allows you to choose from three of our gourmet side dishes such as stuffed baked potatoes, artichoke pasta, Spanish rice, blue cheese coleslaw, grilled pasta salad, and marinated vegetables, among countless other options. As with many of our other catering services, we can arrange a pickup and delivery plan to ensure your polished party goes on without a hitch.

•     Traditional Luncheon buffet
One of our most popular menus, our traditional luncheon buffet will send your guests home full and satisfied after dining on a classic meal. With all the accouterments needed to turn any Cincinnati or Blue Ash graduation party into a dining extravaganza, we offer you a selection of meats for sandwiches, an assortment of breads, all the condiments you’d ever need, and both hot and cold sides that will leave no stomach growling. (Did we mention our noteworthy macaroni and cheese is included on this menu?) We highly recommend this menu for any graduation catering needs!
