Guests pick their own combination and a chef finishes each plate in front of them. The published station starts at $19 per guest with a 25-guest minimum and covers three pasta varieties, three sauces, two proteins, fresh ingredients and finishing toppings, buffet setup and decoration, and two hours of live-chef service.
Because every plate is assembled to order rather than portioned in advance, one station handles a room with very different appetites in it: children, guests who want something lighter, and guests who want the full plate. This page covers the Sunrise side of that setup, from city special-event timing to county park property; the complete service overview lives on the South Florida pasta station page.
Final pasta, sauce and protein selections, dietary accommodations, delivery, taxes, upgrades, availability, venue requirements and the final total are confirmed in your written proposal before booking.
The $19 per-guest figure is the current published starting price for the main station, and the 25-guest minimum applies. Product variations, add-ons and upgrades are priced separately.
Treat it as a starting point rather than a final number: delivery, taxes, upgrades, availability, venue requirements and the total are confirmed in the written proposal. The product page carries the current published price.
Open the product pageWhether a given room or lawn works comes down to the approved setup area, the power the venue will let you use and the load-in route, all of which are reviewed before the proposal is finalized. If you are coordinating for a client or a committee, the planner resources page explains how we work alongside outside planners.
Selections are made conditionally against what is available for your date and confirmed in writing before the event.
Choose three pasta varieties. Familiar shapes or filled pasta can be considered depending on the menu direction and what is available when you book.
Choose three sauces. Spreading them across lighter and creamier directions keeps the line moving, since guests decide faster when the three options clearly differ, subject to availability for your date.
Two protein selections are included. Raise vegetarian, vegan and allergy-related requirements during selection so they can be reviewed and confirmed in the proposal.
Sunrise runs its own review path for gatherings that bring in vendors, cooking or temporary structures, and one of the city's best-known green spaces is not city property at all. Sorting this out early usually decides your date more than the menu does.
City of Sunrise special events and temporary outdoor sales information — read the current requirements there and confirm your specific event with the City.
VNV Events does not apply for, obtain or guarantee permits or approvals, and nothing on this page confirms that a specific approval will be granted. Permitting and approvals are the responsibility of the host, the venue or your planner. Requirements change, so verify them for your specific date, location and event type. What we will do is give you accurate setup details so you can answer the City's, the county's or the venue's questions.
If a tent or temporary cover is part of the plan, review it early against any separate permit requirement. See tent and event rental options.
Service area focus: Sunrise, Florida. This map identifies the city only. It does not represent a VNV Events office, studio, storefront or any other premises in Sunrise, and it does not indicate a pickup location.
These details decide whether the station runs smoothly on the day. Walk through them with your venue early, then confirm them in the written proposal.
The cooking position needs solid cover overhead: a roof, a lanai, a covered terrace, a clubhouse patio or a canopy approved for that location. Open turf with nothing above it is the most common reason a station has to be moved once the crew arrives.
Ask the venue what power exists at the intended station position and whether catering equipment may be plugged into it. We state the station's actual power requirements in the proposal rather than assuming them on site, and a generator can trigger a separate permit or park review in Sunrise.
Trace the route from the unloading point to the station: gate widths, elevator access, stairs, curbs, grass runs, service corridors and distance. Business-park and county-park sites often restrict vehicle access hours, so flag a long or gated path before the date.
Leave room for a line that does not cut across the bar, walkways, restrooms or the dance floor. For larger counts, plan the approach from one side and the exit from the other so plates keep leaving the station.
The package includes two hours of live-chef service. Set the start time against the run of show so the station does not open during toasts, a speech block or a program segment, and put any change to that window in writing.
Clubhouses, hotels and banquet rooms may restrict onsite cooking, open flame, equipment placement or vendor load-in hours, and outside-caterer rules vary by property. Get written confirmation that a live cooking station is allowed in the position you intend to use.
South Florida heat and afternoon storms are a planning input, not a surprise. Identify an indoor or covered alternate position for the station, and agree in advance who makes the call to move it and by what time.
Share the floor plan, timeline and venue or park contact early so the station position, power and service window are settled before the final proposal. Contact the team with whatever details you already have.
The published station includes a choice of three pasta varieties, three sauces and two proteins, plus fresh ingredients and finishing toppings, buffet setup and decoration, and two hours of live-chef service. Final pasta, sauce and protein selections are confirmed in your written proposal.
The current published starting price is $19 per guest with a 25-guest minimum for the main station. Delivery, taxes, upgrades, product variations and the final total are confirmed in the written proposal, and the current published price is shown on the product page.
It depends on the location and the event. The City of Sunrise identifies festivals, events with food trucks, concerts and similar gatherings as special events, with applications generally due at least 15 days ahead and generally 30 days for events expected to draw more than 1,000 attendees. Larger canopies and generators can require separate permits. VNV Events does not apply for, obtain or guarantee permits or approvals; the host, venue or planner must confirm current requirements directly with the City of Sunrise.
Markham Park sits inside Sunrise but is a Broward County park, so the conversation starts with Broward County park staff rather than with the City. Ask them about vendor access, canopy sizes, generators, load-in and vehicle access before building a timeline around the location, and remember that reservations and approvals run on separate schedules.
Plan for a covered cooking area, a safe power source approved by the venue, a clear load-in path to the station position, room for a guest queue that does not block circulation, an agreed service window for the included two hours of live-chef service, and a weather fallback position. Exact venue requirements are confirmed in the written proposal.
Raise dietary directions while selections are being made. Vegetarian, vegan and allergy-related accommodations are reviewed case by case and confirmed in the written proposal along with the final pasta, sauce and protein choices.
Send the date, guest count, venue and intended setup area. You will get a written proposal covering selections, dietary accommodations, delivery, taxes, upgrades, availability, venue requirements and the final total.
Pricing shown is the current published starting price and is subject to change. Availability is not reserved until a proposal is issued and accepted. VNV Events does not apply for, obtain or guarantee permits or approvals; requirements must be confirmed with the City of Sunrise, Broward County or the venue by the host, venue or planner.
