Think Beyond the Boardroom

The most memorable retreats often happen away from the usual “four wall” boxed-in office feeling. Look for venues that offer natural light, outdoor space, or unique amenities that spark creativity and collaboration.

Fuel Productivity with Great Food

From energizing breakfasts to elegant evening receptions, catering plays a major role in how your team experiences the day. Avalon Catering specializes in crafting event menus that fuel focus, foster connection, and celebrate the flavors of the season.

Let us create a culinary experience tailored to your goals—whether it’s a laid-back lunch buffet, passed hors d’oeuvres during a networking hour, or a seated dinner with wine pairings.

Add Local Flavor

Atlanta is a city rich in culinary culture, and your catering should reflect that. We source from local farms and purveyors to bring fresh, vibrant ingredients to every plate. It’s our way of honoring the region and supporting the community we love.

Your Event

Want to leave a lasting impression? Here are a few ways to make your retreat feel extra special:

Themed Break Stations

Think: build-your-own trail mix bars, hydration stations with infused waters, or mini biscuit sandwiches with Southern spreads. Memorable themed touches can spark conversations while keeping everyone fueled for the day.

Morning Motivation Stations

Start the day on a bright note with a beautifully arranged breakfast bar featuring locally-baked pastries, fresh fruit, and yogurt parfaits with house-made granola.

Add a chalkboard menu or branded signage for a personal touch.

Fun & Memorable Experiences

Adding some thoughtful, unexpected touches to your retreat creates fun moments that turn into unforgettable memories. Some ideas to try:

Photo booth with instant print-outs and props
Guided nature walk, cooking class, or local workshop
Live performance – think acoustic music, a stand-up comedian, or a surprise dance troupe
Interactive art wall or group mural project
Lawn games or “Field Day” activities like tug-of-war, flag football, and relay races!
Candle-making or floral design mini-workshop that guests can take home
