Sweet and savory crepes cooked to order in front of your guests, styled as a buffet and served across two hours of live chef preparation. The setup is planned around the Oakland Park space you are actually booking, whether that is a City hall downtown, a community clubhouse or a backyard.
Oakland Park already treats food as part of its public life. The City's own downtown calendar at Jaco Pastorius Park includes a Culinary Arts Showcase series alongside Oktoberfest and Moonlit Movie nights, so guests here are used to eating something that was made in front of them. A crepe station does that at private scale: each guest picks a direction, the chef cooks it on the spot, and the line keeps moving instead of stalling at a chafing dish. This page covers the Oakland Park side of the setup. The full service overview lives on the South Florida crepe station page.
Final fillings, dietary accommodations, setup details and logistics are confirmed in the proposal before booking.
The current published base price is $19 per guest with a 25-guest minimum. Delivery, taxes, upgrades, availability, venue requirements and final menu selections are confirmed in your written proposal, so treat this as a starting point rather than a final total.

A live cooking station is a vendor, equipment and a heat source in one. In Oakland Park, that means the property decides more than the menu does. Sort the venue questions early and the date takes care of itself.
Service area focus: Oakland Park, Florida. This map identifies the city only and does not represent a VNV Events office.
VNV Events does not apply for, obtain or guarantee permits or facility approvals. Permitting and approvals are the responsibility of the host, the venue or your planner. We will give you the setup details you need to answer the City's or the venue's questions accurately.
The station is cooked equipment placed in a guest-facing spot. A short walkthrough answers almost all of it before anyone signs anything.

Build the three sweet fillings around fruit, chocolate and cream for a dessert-forward moment late in the night.
Use the three savory fillings so the station carries part of the meal rather than sitting at the end of it.
Coordinate the buffet presentation with the colors and atmosphere of the celebration and the room you rented.

It depends on the property and the setup. The City of Oakland Park publishes a Special Event Permit Application through its Parks and Leisure Services department, and special event permits also appear among the forms handled by the City's Building and Permitting Division. Ask the City directly whether your specific event triggers a special event application, and whether a tent, other temporary structure or electrical setup needs its own permit. VNV Events does not apply for, obtain or guarantee permits.
Jaco Pastorius Park is City of Oakland Park property and is home to the City's signature events, including Oktoberfest, the Polynesian Cultural Festival, Holiday Village, the Culinary Arts Showcase series and Moonlit Movie. The adjacent community center is available for rental through the City. Confirm the rental itself, the outside-caterer and cooking-equipment rules and any event review with the City before you commit to a date, because those approvals can run on separate timelines.
Yes. The package includes two hours of live-chef preparation on-site, with sweet and savory crepes made in front of guests and served from a styled buffet.
A covered cooking area, a safe power source close to the station and a clear load-in path from parking. Exact power and placement requirements are confirmed with your venue before the proposal is finalized rather than assumed.
Send the date, venue and guest count and we will confirm what the setup needs and what the proposal would include.
