“The sky is the limit,” says Ramon Hernandez, catering manager at Riderwood. “We’re able to cook up anything you can think of. We’re happy to make cultural favorites, personal recipes, custom creations, and anything else you can imagine.”
“We have a catering guide to help plan most events, but we also provide custom catering for that extra special touch.”

For those wishing to entertain in their apartment home, menu selections and express platters can be picked up in the closest onsite restaurant. For large parties, the performance hall and the catering rooms are available on a first-come first-served basis. Members of the Riderwood community do not pay room rental or audiovisual rental fees.
