Stems is located in Pasadena, CA.

We serve all of Los Angeles County, offering charcuterie catering, grazing tables, and delivery services for private and corporate events. Our local service areas include Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Santa Monica, Malibu, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Long Beach, and Downtown Los Angeles.

Across all locations, we provide charcuterie board delivery, grazing table setups, and full-service event catering for weddings, celebrations, and corporate gatherings.

You can order directly through our online shop for catered orders or boards. For larger events, workshops, or if you need customization (food + bar + floral + rentals etc.), you can inquire through our website.

We cater everything from intimate gatherings and private celebrations to large corporate events, weddings, and luxury brand activations.

Our experience spans birthday parties, engagement celebrations, bridal and baby showers, anniversaries, grand openings, holiday parties, fundraisers, networking events, product launches, open houses, styled shoots, and community gatherings.

While we’re best known for our artisan cheese, charcuterie boards, and grazing tables, our full-service catering also canapés, crudité platters, sandwich and slider trays, fruit displays, dessert spreads, and more — all crafted with Southern hospitality, Coastal Italian flair, and the vibrant freshness of California cuisine.

Beyond catering, we host interactive workshops, culinary retreats, food styling classes, private chef experiences, and creative community events designed to bring people together through artful food presentation and shared connection.
