We are a premium on-site catering company that brings exceptional food to your most meaningful moments. I always thought hwangap was at age 60 — but technically, hwangap falls at 61 and yugsun at 60. There are so many milestones worth celebrating in a family. As the weather cools down, we are seeing more and more events held at country houses and front gardens. From first birthday parties (doljanchi) to 70th (gohiyeon), 80th (sansuyeon), and 90th (gusunyeon) birthday celebrations, families are marking these occasions in style. Catering for family events has become the norm, and inquiries for family event catering now make up the largest share of what we receive. So — how are you planning to spend this Chuseok holiday? More and more families are moving away from traditional ancestral rites and instead using the holiday gathering as an occasion to host milestone celebrations — gusunyeon, sansuyeon, doljanchi — for the whole extended family. This fall in particular, with clear and sunny weather inviting people outside, we received an exceptional volume of inquiries for family catering — bringing a chef and food stylist directly to private settings such as country house gardens, apartment community centers, and private rental venues. Here are firsthand recaps from events we catered, along with practical tips for a successful family celebration. 1\. Country House Garden: A 90th Birthday Celebration Under the Autumn Sun At a country house in Gyeonggi-do, a gusunyeon was held in a sun-filled front garden to celebrate an elder's 90th birthday. Venue atmosphere: A warm outdoor buffet stand set up on the garden lawn. Fresh floral arrangements and wood-tone serving trays complemented the autumn setting to create a truly picturesque scene. Custom menu: We put together a multi-generational buffet lineup — seasonal Korean dishes suited to the elders' palates alongside Western dishes, hot dogs, and barbecue that the children would enjoy — so every generation left satisfied. Family feedback: "Taking elderly family members out to a restaurant is always such a challenge. Having hotel-quality food right here in our own familiar garden made everyone so much more relaxed and happy!" The host expressed heartfelt thanks throughout the event. 2\. Apartment Community Center: A Polished First Birthday Party More and more savvy clients are renting the banquet or multipurpose rooms inside newly built apartment complexes to host family celebrations. Venue atmosphere: The spacious layout handled a large guest count comfortably, with excellent climate control and facilities. We styled the space as a refined hotel-style standing party. Custom menu: Alongside elegant table styling, we served Korean braised short ribs (sogalbi-jjim), steamed pork with herbal broth (hanbang suyuk), grilled shrimp, nutty wild-herb rice (gondeure-bap) with fresh spring onion sauce, and other substantial main dishes — all kept warm throughout the event using warm dish equipment. Host satisfaction: The client had been worried about bringing outside food and equipment into the building and managing cleanup afterward. Our dedicated team handled everything from setup through post-event cleanup and waste removal, so the host was able to greet and enjoy time with guests without lifting a finger. 3\. Private Rental Venue: A Stylish First Birthday Party A rooftop rental space with distinctive interior design in the city served as the backdrop for one baby's very first birthday. Venue atmosphere: We created a trendy wood-tone food table that complemented the existing interior concept of the space. Custom menu: Reflecting the tastes of the young couple and their guests, we composed a visually striking, Instagram-worthy menu featuring whole roasted pig, fresh oysters, and halibut carpaccio — dishes that pair well with wine and drinks. ✅ Custom styling for any venue: Whether it is an outdoor garden, a community center, or a rental studio, we design the food display and floral arrangements to suit the flow and atmosphere of your specific space. ✅ Menu balance for every generation: From refined Korean finger food made with premium ingredients to desserts the children will love — every menu is built through a one-on-one consultation. ✅ Full cleanup service: After the event, we handle all equipment collection and waste sorting, so your family can focus entirely on conversation and making memories. This autumn, with its cool breeze and clear skies, is the perfect season — whether you are planning a gusunyeon or sansuyeon for a parent, or a doljanchi for your little one.
