When it comes to creating memorable corporate events, sometimes the most successful gathering isn't a formal dinner — it's a relaxed happy hour reception where guests can network, unwind, and enjoy exceptional food and drinks together.
Recently, Falcone's Catering had the opportunity to provide cash bar service, hors d'oeuvres, and evening hospitality for a corporate event hosted in the beautiful lobby of Lake Murray State Park Lodge near Ardmore, Oklahoma. Throughout the client's week-long stay, our team also provided multiple meals and beverage services, helping keep attendees energized from morning meetings through evening receptions.
Whether you're hosting executives, employees, conference attendees, or special guests, we're proud to provide professional catering that makes every event feel effortless.
A Beautiful Venue Deserves Exceptional Hospitality
The lobby at Lake Murray State Park Lodge creates the perfect atmosphere for a casual networking event. Rather than a traditional banquet, this reception allowed guests to gather comfortably while enjoying handcrafted appetizers, cocktails, beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages served by our experienced catering team.
Our professional cash bar service handled everything from setup and service to cleanup, allowing event organizers to focus on their guests instead of logistics.
A Menu Built for Mingling
For this reception, we designed a menu featuring elegant, easy-to-enjoy hors d'oeuvres that kept guests moving, socializing, and coming back for more.
Featured Happy Hour Menu
- Chicken Brochettes
- Beef Tenderloin Toast Points
- Shrimp Cocktail Shooters
- Antipasti Skewers
- Mini Chicken Sliders
- Mini Beef Sliders
- Italian Mini Meatballs
Each item was prepared to be flavorful, visually appealing, and easy to enjoy while standing and networking — exactly what makes a successful cocktail-style reception.
Not Every Event Needs a Full Buffet
One of the biggest misconceptions about catering is that every event requires a full breakfast, lunch, or dinner buffet.
In reality, many corporate events are better served with thoughtfully designed appetizers, grazing stations, and beverage service.
Falcone's Catering specializes in creating custom menus for:
- Corporate Happy Hours
- Networking Events
- Employee Appreciation Gatherings
- Business Conferences
- Holiday Parties
- Grand Openings
- Client Appreciation Events
- VIP Receptions
- Cocktail Parties
Sometimes a carefully curated selection of hors d'oeuvres paired with professional beverage service creates exactly the atmosphere your event needs.
Charcuterie Boards That Make an Impression
Looking for something even more interactive?
Our custom charcuterie boards and grazing displays have become one of our most requested catering options. Beautifully arranged with artisan meats, cheeses, fresh fruit, nuts, crackers, olives, vegetables, and gourmet accompaniments, they create a centerpiece that encourages guests to gather, mingle, and enjoy.
Charcuterie is perfect for:
- Happy Hours
- Wedding Receptions
- Corporate Meetings
- VIP Lounges
- Open Houses
- Holiday Parties
We can create displays sized for intimate gatherings or events serving hundreds of guests.

This corporate event wasn't just one evening reception.
Throughout the week, Falcone's Catering provided multiple meals, beverage stations, and hospitality services, ensuring attendees were well taken care of from the first morning coffee through the final evening reception.
