My Name is Aaron Butler, as the Chef and Owner of Creations Catering and Events, I would like to share some exciting news- Creations Catering and Events and River City Catering have partnered up! I would like to explain how this came to fruition, and why I am so rejuvenated and excited to get the ball rolling again!
When Covid caused the shut down in March of 2020, I had two businesses operating- Creations Catering and Park Place Inn and Cottages-5 Vacation Rental Properties and both came to a complete stop as we all know. We lost everything but remained as positive as possible and persevered.
On May 21st, 2020, My Wife Amanda took our 2 kids to the beach to relax and forget about everything for a day.
This was the day that changed my life and family forever. On the way to the beach, Amanda was involved in an auto accident that ultimately took her life. My 2 children survived the accident, and it has been a challenge for us ever since that day to adapt to the new reality. I had never experienced such personal trauma like this, and it was so overwhelming to deal with knowing that my 2 children were going to grow up without a Mom. Luckily, I was very fortunate to have friends and family around me including Amanda’s best friend Stephanie to help with everything and navigate through it. I made it back to work and was refocused on getting the businesses on track and accomplishing my goal of purchasing the property that both businesses were on. Unfortunately, my landlord backed out of our agreement to purchase, and I decided to end my leases in April 2022.
When we were moving out, a mutual friend, Pete Owens of Owens Distributors stopped by and suggested I speak to Troy who is the owner of River City Catering. When I met Troy, it was a short time after that things progressed, and we knew we would work great together.
With over 50 years of combined catering experience, you know you’re in good hands. We are so excited to bring on new menu items and concepts, please check out the new website and contact us today!
Best Wishes,
Aaron Butler
