We bring the restaurant to you!

We created Elevated Gatherings with the goal of bringing restaurant-quality dining directly to our clients. Whether it’s a backyard bash for dozens of people or an intimate plated dinner for just a handful, we work with you to create an unforgettable experience designed just for you and your guests.

Our philosophy is simple. We create delicious food, as local as we can get it, with a little something extra, for those who are so inclined and where it is permitted by law. What is the “something extra,” you might ask? Well, there’s a few reasons we can’t spell the word out on our website, but let’s just say it’s green and it takes you higher. Check out our FAQs to learn more about how we do what we do and how we keep it 100% legal.

Don’t go out, don’t get takeout! Kick back, relax, and let us do all the work for you. You deserve to enjoy your own event, and your satisfaction is our top priority. We come to you and we prepare and serve everything as if your home or vacation rental was your own personal restaurant. We’ll even do all the dishes! Your own custom menu, personal chef, and waitstaff are all part of the Elevated Gatherings experience.

It's almost time for the #benitobowl and as fans of el conejo malo we are here for it! It's a cold one here in the Hudson Valley so we decided to go with a big pot of chili that we'll be serving over some creamy, melty, three cheese macaroni and cheese. We all make mistakes and sometimes we're just running away from one and hoping we're not running directly into another one. In the latest episode of Kira's Elevated Life, read about a few times things didn't go as planned. We're real, we're human, and we wouldn't want to do business with anyone with pretends otherwise, so we're not going to do it. Read all about it at the link in @elevatedgatheringsny bio. As we look forward to the fun things we have in store for 2026, we're also looking back on a few of the best things we made in 2025. We had a great time cooking and serving our outstanding clients and we can't wait for all of you to join us in our next chapter! Take a tour of our kitchen! It's small but functional and after cooking here for over 20 years we really can cook anywhere. This Sunday at 2 PM! Come join us at @upstatepinesinc in Red Hook and learn about cooking with everyone's favorite herb. Kira will cover some do's and don't's and give you some basic pointers on how to get started. Oh yeah, it's that exciting! Sometimes a simple dessert is the best kind. Sometimes things are scary. Walking into the woods, going through a new door. Take the plunge and do the thing anyway. In the latest edition of Kira's Elevated Life, I'll cover a scary thing we're doing in 2026. On this chilly and rainy day, let us remind you that Clint is the master of soup, and let us show you an example of his delicious soup.
