Jessie will guide you through our menus and capabilities as well as assist with any other planning you would ask of her. Formal or informal, we will work out menus and bar selections to create the mood and ambience you are looking for.

Cocktail Parties and Other Social Events
You do not have to get married to enjoy the specialties of the Good Life Gourmet. Contact Jessie McClary for any event you want to plan in your home or office, from an elegant Cocktail Party to a Backyard Reunion. We can help with every detail from beginning to end or work out a menu that can be prepared by us and picked-up at our store by you. The amount of service you want at your event is up to you.

Business Holiday Parties or Award Events
We like nothing more than showing off our abilities to fellow Outer Bankers. As with our other Catered Events we can offer complete assistance with all menu and party planning. In addition, the Good Life itself is available for private parties as well as the Blue Point and Ocean Boulevard on certain nights at certain times of the year. Contact us at The Good Life (252.480.2855) for more details.

Award or Business Luncheons or Breakfasts
Ocean Boulevard Bistro is available year round to host an unforgettable luncheon for any occasion. We are also able to prepare a Luncheon Menu to be picked up and taken back to your office or other location. Contact us at The Good Life (252.480.2855) for more details.

Meeting Luncheons or Breakfasts
Let us prepare a savory and easy-to-eat luncheon to be enjoyed while you conduct a business meeting, or call us and make a reservation to hold one of our large tables to hold your important discussions. We can plan a menu for everyone so that your time is not taken up with decisions and ordering. Or we can send our menu to you ahead of time and everyone can pre-order their lunch. Contact us at The Good Life (252.480.2855) for more details.
