🛀 Taft - out now! Link in bio
William Taft was the only man both president and chief Justice. Well known for being stuck in a tub, but in real life, he was stuck in a political career.

This video is the largest creative project we’ve ever done and there’s so many people involved we want to say thanks to.

First to @izzywhite_dp who has been my best video making partner since we were kids making hot wheels stop motion with our parents hi-8 camcorder.

@forgevirtualstudios for giving us the opportunity and incredible space to make every single silly idea come to life.

A long list of names at the end of the video of all the folks whose creativity made this song and video possible.

Go watch it and if you enjoy what we created PLEASE share it as it helps more than you can imagine.

There will be behind the scenes and a short documentary dropping soon.

WHAT GUESTS SEE VS. WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE IT HAPPEN

When guests walk into an event, they see beautiful food, smiling staff, and a seamless experience.

What they don’t see are the hundreds of small details happening behind the scenes.

The walkthroughs.

The timing.

The communication.

The setup.

The problem solving.

The team making sure everything is exactly where it needs to be before the first guest arrives.

At Sweet Baby Ray’s Catering, those little details matter because they’re what turn a good event into a memorable one.

We recently had the opportunity to cater the grand opening of @forgevirtualstudios, and it was a perfect reminder that great hospitality starts long before service begins.

Special thanks to Forge Virtual Studios for having us.

Behind every successful event is a team that cares about getting the details right.

We had the absolute pleasure of catering the grand opening celebration for @forgevirtualstudios, and we’re incredibly grateful for the kind words from Connor and the entire team.

Events like this are what we love most — helping bring people together, celebrating exciting milestones, and creating an experience that guests will remember. It was an honor to be part of such an exciting day and to help welcome everyone into this incredible new space.

A huge congratulations to Forge Virtual Studios on their grand opening. We wish the entire team continued success and thank you for trusting us to be part of the celebration.

Special thanks to our event partners who helped make the day a success:
@forkitgrazing for the beautiful grazing table and @msquarecatering for the outstanding sushi station.
