Crystal Grey & Events

When Joan Brooks founded Crystal Grey Event , she had already honed her exuberant and innovative style through years of experience in traditional dining service. She was schooled in hotel management at Acton University and Oxford, in her native England. She gained indispensable skills and knowledge while apprenticing at some of Europe’s finest hotels, including Brown’s in London, George V in Paris and The Grand Hotel in Rome. Working for the elite London caterer, Searcy, heightened her interest in and knowledge of off-site catering. Working first out of a small florist shop, Joan began serving afternoon tea sandwiches to her clients who would come to the shop to discuss their orders. The first event she ever “catered” was a tray of hors d’oeuvres she prepared and delivered herself.

From that first hors d’oeuvre tray grew a successful events company, now operating out of an established facility, with a fleet of vehicles and enough in-house equipment to serve a formal sit down dinner for 2,000 people. After over 10 years in the industry, she still engages in his hand-on management style and continues as the spokesman of the company. Her impassioned enthusiasm for special events and dedication to excellence set the tone for the entire company.

Today, We provide first class event management services, classic and contemporary cuisine and impeccable service to the social, philanthropic and corporate arenas. Our deep knowledge of event logistics is unparalleled. To provide this superior service, the company is divided into separate but cohesive divisions.

Crystal Grey Catering and Events prides itself on its unparalleled customer service, quality and attention to detail. Together with a dedicated staff we bring the legacy of the company to over 10 off premise venues, and continues to provide in-home private dining.
