When you think of Thierry Isambert Culinary and Event Design, you might picture an exquisitely plated dish, a touch of French elegance, or maybe the sound of corks popping from a perfectly chilled bottle of champagne. And you'd be right. But let’s dive a little deeper into what makes us one of South Florida’s most trusted names in catering and event production—where the cuisine is just as important as the seamless execution behind the scenes.
The journey began in a condo in Mid Town back in 1989. The building had a vacant space where Thierry created a restaurant. Thierry and Alina Isambert didn’t start with a grand kitchen or a fleet of trucks. Nope, just a love for good food, a strong work ethic, and a little bit of that French flair Thierry brought over from his roots in the Champagne region of France. Yes, the same Champagne region that’s known for its rolling vineyards and savoir-faire when it comes to celebrating. It’s no wonder that Thierry would go on to build a business around creating unforgettable experiences.
Our focus has always been on exceptional cuisine, but not just any cuisine. We’re talking about food that captures the essence of South Florida’s vibrant local flavors, infused with a touch of European sophistication. It’s food that’s not only delicious but also tells a story on every plate. We’ve been fortunate enough to serve as the exclusive caterer for the New World Symphony since 2012, and every event has been an opportunity to bring something unique to the table—literally. Whether it’s a fusion of tropical ingredients with classic French techniques or a fresh take on a local favorite, our dishes are designed to wow your taste buds.
But let’s not kid ourselves—catering isn’t just about what’s on the plate. A great dish is only half the battle. The other half? Making sure that dish arrives at your table hot, fresh, and at the perfect moment. That’s where our team’s near-military precision comes into play. We’ve mastered the art of not just cooking, but also managing the entire symphony of logistics that go into a flawless event. Picture this: pop-up kitchens, chefs in the zone, waiters moving with the grace of dancers, and every plate hitting the table like a well-timed note in a piece of music. That’s the level of coordination we bring to every event, whether it’s an intimate dinner party or a gala for 800 guests.
And let’s talk about the team for a moment. Thierry and Alina are moving into the next chapter of the company with their children on board, Aline and Max, both of whom bring a wealth of experience and fresh perspectives to the business. After years of education, hands-on training, and shadowing their parents, Aline and Max are seasoned professionals in their own right. They’re not just continuing the family legacy; they’re building upon it, ensuring that Thierry Isambert Culinary and Event Design remains a leader in South Florida’s catering and event production industry.
