History

Established in 2013.

Chef and Owner Zachary Greatting started Brix Catering & Events in 2012 as a hobby to bring food and wine pairing to people’s homes. After completing culinary school at Kendall College, and the Wine Intensive at the Culinary Institute of America Greystone, Zachary worked as Assistant Sommelier at the two Michelin starred restaurant Ria.

One wine dinner led to another, and referrals grew the business from a hobby to the full service catering and events company that Brix is today.
