Why Catering Thanksgiving Is A Good Idea

Thanksgiving dinner is one of the biggest meals of the year and it kicks off the holiday season, often with a big family gathering. Thanksgiving is a time for gratitude, overindulging in delicious food and spending time with your family. The traditional Thanksgiving dinner consists of turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beans, cranberry sauce, and for a lot of people, much more. Every family has their own traditions, but the most important thing is to spend time together talking, catching up, and making new memories. Now, more than ever, it is important to prioritize your precious time with your loved ones. While some families spend the whole day in anticipation while they smell their meal cooking, it is usually a select few who are under pressure to prepare all the dishes, and desserts—those pies won’t be making themselves after all—and that includes getting the timing for everything right. 

Have You Considered Getting Your Thanksgiving Dinner Catered This Year? 

With a professionally catered meal, you can focus on spending time doing the important things instead of planning your meal, cooking, or washing dishes. Marina del Rey does all the work for you; our traditional Thanksgiving dinner arrives ready to serve. All you need to do is dig in! Your guests will love the food and you will love the convenience and that extra time you get to spend with your loved ones. 

Benefits of Catering

For starters, having your meal catered can help you avoid conflicts with keeping track of and organizing who is making what dishes. It also avoids the disappointment if someone who had planned to bring a dish, isn’t able to at the last minute. What if someone forgot the cranberry sauce? It just wouldn’t be Thanksgiving dinner without it.



One of the best benefits is that extra stress-free time you get to spend visiting with your family. It is hard to enjoy everyone’s company if you’re worried about perfecting your great grandmother’s candied yam recipe. The bonus benefit is there is little to no clean up involved. When dinner is over and everyone is overstuffed much like the turkey, no one is in the mood to do all the dirty dishes involved in preparing the meal. With catering, you won’t have a counter full of baking dishes waiting to be washed. Instead, you can keep relaxing with your family over dessert. A bonus is that it is less expensive to have Thanksgiving dinner catered than it is to buy all the ingredients to make it at home.
