OUR STORY

All About Our Award-Winning Catering & Event Design Company

The Painted Table is the result of the combined culinary design efforts of chefs Rodney and Jeromie Hansen. Together they forged one of the top catering companies in the Central Valley, known for wildly original menu presentations and wildly pleasing event coordination.

With culinary traditions steeped in the culture of California’s heartland, Chef Rod and Chef Jeromie started The Painted Table catering company in December of 2007. Word spread across the Central Valley, and The Painted Table continued to build their reputation. 

Chef Rod explains, “Our major milestone was in 2010 when we acquired The Daily Planet, in the historic Tower District, as our permanent physical venue location. To keep up with demand, our warehouse and office expanded in 2016, and we just hit our 10-year anniversary in December of 2017.”

Statewide, we’re particularly proud that we won the Best Catering Award by the California Restaurant Association for 2015.

Most recently, on the worldwide stage, we received the 2017 CATIE Award (Catered Arts Through Innovative Excellence Award) from the International Caterers Association. We came home with the Best Signature Caterer for a Special Event Award, where our Underground Supper Club ‘Evening at the Forestiere Underground Gardens’ was honored.”
What’s their secret to such high recognition? The Painted Table delivers deliciously eclectic cuisine tailored for any special event, from weddings and corporate gatherings to intimate family affairs and celebrations. You’ll be wowed by a memorable experience that no other caterer can provide, where the presentation looks like a work of art and the service goes far beyond expectations.  

The true success of The Painted Table’s delectable originality is reflected in their prestigious local, national, and international honors. “We’ve landed on the Fresno Bee’s People’s Choice list for ever since we opened our doors in the Tower District in 2010. Fresno Magazine awarded us with Best Catering in 2011, which was pretty cool. Expertise.com named us as one of the Best Caterers in Fresno for 2018.

The Painted Table event coordination team takes care of every detail so that you don’t have to. No wonder they are the “go to” caterers for community fundraisers, celebrity parties, and VIPs in every walk of life.

“Our clients know our catering will be a unique and excellent experience,” guarantees Chef Jeromie. This experience can be yours for at next event—Contact our total event designers at 559-443-7199 to get started.

I absolutely recommend Painted Table.
The presentation of the meals was excellent. Even the kids meal was presented as a piece of art. There was plenty of food. They were organized and gave helpful suggestions to go with the party theme. Excellent service and very professional.

The painted table made my weekend experience so easy. Vanessa is a literal angel for wedding coordinating needs, she handled every hiccup, made sure me and the groom felt taken care of, and executed our wedding to perfection.

Absolute commendable hospitality of the highest regard. I attended a training meeting for the Fresno Unified School District at this majestic establishment. Powerful scenic scope of both style and substance. The chandeliers are the illuminating nuance of both radiating a dual role of constitution of elegance, but with a welcoming practicality. The beverage bar of mint/lemon water and the infinity of coffee was a tremendous salutory change of class of culinary drink that was exhilarated to be utilized. As this was my initial visit of this luxurious space, I dearly hope to return to enjoy more of its features when it is the future of splendid reality for us to enjoy its brilliance.
