Sazama's Fine Catering Chosen as Official Catering Partner for the Marcus Center

The Marcus Center for the Performing Arts has announced that Sazama's Fine Catering will be its catering partner for events held at the facility beginning September 1, 2010. The partnership is designed to offer a high level of service and fare to attendees of performing arts performances and to those who select the Marcus Center as a venue for receptions, meetings and other events.

Paul Mathews, President & CEO of the Marcus Center stated, "Catering plays an important part in what our venue offers and we are very excited about the new partnership with Sazama's Fine Catering. We are considered a premier venue for weddings and receptions as well as corporate meetings and parties. Sazama's team shares our commitment to delivering an exquisite experience for our patrons. As we continue to provide the highest level of entertainment and event facilities we are confident that Sazama's extensive menu and full catering services will be well received."

Sazama's Fine Catering has a staff with extensive experience in catering weddings, corporate events and social affairs, and is known for their exceptional service, attention to detail, and impressive cuisine. A division of Saz's, Sazama's Fine Catering has over 30 years of experience in providing catering expertise for intimate parties to corporate events for thousands of attendees.

Steve Sazama, owner and President of Sazama's Fine Catering, commented, "We are thrilled to work with the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts. This is a world-class venue and we look forward to providing world-class catering service for the facility. Joe Brueggemann, Director of Sazama's Fine Catering, has been instrumental in developing this partnership and is working to make this a sound, long-term relationship."

Brueggemann has a great deal of experience with upscale events including various high profile corporate and social affairs, upscale kosher affairs and hundreds of weddings annually. He orchestrated The Spring Wedding Showcase in 2009 where Brides were treated to a feast for the eyes with stunning table settings and floral arrangements in addition to sampling gourmet food created by Brueggemann's staff. Wedding receptions are frequently held at the Marcus Center and the knowledge that the team at Sazama's Fine Catering brings to the table is one of the keys to their selection as the Marcus Center's catering partner.

"The fact that Sazama's Fine Catering has experience in extraordinarily detailed events was a factor in our decision to choose them," offered Marcus Center VP of Sales & Marketing, Heidi Lofy. "They have what it takes to pull off a complex, high end event with remarkable attention to the details and timing needed to work with a venue like ours, where live performances are also a distinguishing feature."

Brueggemann commented, "We realize the challenges in coordinating private event schedules with the performing arts groups' performances and welcome the opportunity to work with all participants. Supporting these arts groups as they plan fundraising and patron events is another way for us to support the arts in Milwaukee. We will also continue to support the UPAF campaign and the Miller Ride for the Arts. In addition, we are planning to provide expanded service in the hospitality areas to patrons of the performances and will announce details in the coming months."
