🌟 Happy National Business Women’s Day! 🌟
Today, we’re celebrating the woman who started it all, the heart, brain, and face behind Catering Connections, Colleen Reilly! 💛
In 2015, Colleen took her passion for food, hospitality, and bringing people together and turned it into Catering Connections. What began as her vision has grown into a woman-owned catering business serving weddings, corporate events, vacation gatherings, dinner parties, and celebrations throughout the Forgotten Coast and beyond.
And if you know Colleen, you know she does so much more than plan a menu!
She’s the person behind the phone calls, the creative ideas, the carefully planned details, and the delicious meals. From the first conversation with a bride to the final plate served at a reception, Colleen works tirelessly to bring each client’s vision to life. She puts that same dedication into every corporate luncheon, family celebration, and intimate dinner party, making sure each event receives the attention and care it deserves.
Over the years, Colleen has:
✨ Built Catering Connections into a thriving, full-service catering business.
✨ Led our team through more than 130 events in 2025 alone, including 67 events in just 69 days during the busy summer season!
✨ Established lasting relationships with local businesses, venues, vendors, and families who continue to trust us with their most important occasions.
✨ Created opportunities for an incredible team of employees who help bring her vision to life at every event.
But beyond her accomplishments as a business owner, Colleen is a woman who gives her heart to the people around her. She is a mother, a leader, a mentor, a problem-solver, and someone who genuinely cares about making others happy. Her dedication, determination, and passion are woven into every part of this business.
Without Colleen, there would be no Catering Connections. Every event we cater, every relationship we build, and every new opportunity we pursue began with her dream and the hard work she continues to put into it every single day.
Today, we celebrate you, Colleen! Thank you for building something so special and for showing us what can happen when a woman turns her passion into a business that brings people together, one unforgettable meal at a time. 🥂💛
Happy National Business Women’s Day to Colleen and all the incredible women who are building businesses, leading teams, and making a difference in their communities!
