NYC Catering Company for Corporate Events, Government Programs & Luxury Occasions
Urban Affairs Catering & Events is a New York City catering and production company built for corporate and high-capacity events. Since 1998, we have delivered structured execution across food, staffing, rentals, bar service, and logistics for gatherings ranging from 20 to 2,000 guests — supporting offices, venues, planners, and institutions across all five boroughs with clear communication, controlled timelines, and on-site management from setup through breakdown. We don’t sell moments. We deliver operations that work.
Who We Are
Founded in 1998 and based at 1625 Broadway in Manhattan, Urban Affairs is a full-service caterer and production company. Our team supports corporate clients, government and institutional programs, event planners, and private hosts — handling the food, the staffing, and the logistics so the people running the event can focus on the event itself.
What We Do
We cater corporate functions, government and institutional programs, weddings, and private celebrations. Every engagement is full-service: custom menus, professional servers and bartenders, rentals, bar service, and complete on-site coordination. From a 20-guest boardroom lunch to a 2,000-guest program, the operation scales without losing control of quality or timing.
How We Work
Every event is prepared in our DOHMH-permitted kitchens under HACCP protocols. We map the logistics in advance — timing, staffing ratios, loading docks, dietary needs — and then run the event on-site from setup through breakdown, so nothing is left to improvisation. Reliable execution is the product; the food and presentation are how it shows up on the plate.
Built for Both Sides of the Business
We serve two audiences with the same discipline. Corporate executive assistants and planners need dependable, repeatable execution on a tight timeline. Private hosts planning a Manhattan wedding or milestone want a menu and service tailored to them. We collaborate closely with each client and build the event around their vision — no two events are alike, because no two clients are alike.
Trusted Across New York Since 1998
Since 1998, Urban Affairs has served some of New York’s most demanding clients — including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, and Madison Square Garden — alongside government and institutional programs and private celebrations across the city. That track record, backed by documented DOHMH and HACCP food-safety standards, is why clients return to us year after year.
