On The Bottle.
Your Name
Behind The Experience.

For more than five decades Brancato’s has made a client’s vision come to life on the plate, in the room, and on the floor. We’d like to help you finish the story — with a small-batch cocktail poured from a bottle that carries their name.

Why We Called Kansas City First

We Only Wanted To Do This With One Caterer In KC.

You’re the area’s only representative to the Leading Caterers of America. That’s not a list you talk your way onto.

Family-owned since 1969. Kansas City’s premier off-premises caterer. A state-of-the-art facility on Kansas Ave and a sister company in All Seasons Event Rental, so the room, the rentals and the meal all answer to one standard.

That standard is the whole reason we’re here. A custom cocktail only works if the people serving it care as much about the last ten percent as we do about the first ninety.

What we’d add to that

A guest picks up a bottle at a Brancato’s reception and sees the couple’s monogram, the company’s logo, the date of the gala. It goes home in a purse. It sits on a shelf. It gets photographed.

It’s the piece of the evening that doesn’t get cleared at the end of the night — and your name is on the invoice that made it happen.

“Our services are individualized because exceptional catering and event planning rely upon personal attention to every customer, no matter the size of the occasion.”

Brancato’s Catering · About Us
How It Would Work

Four Steps. No Lift On Your End.

You already assign an event coordinator to every function. We’d slot in behind that person — not in front of them.

01
We Set You Up

A short call to agree on terms, then a partner account, a direct line to our team, and a tasting kit of all six cocktails shipped to Kansas Ave.

02
You Offer It

Add custom cocktails to a proposal the same way you’d add a bar package, a passed hors d’oeuvre, or a late-night station. Sell sheet and photography provided.

03
We Design The Label

Send us the client’s logo, monogram or event branding. Two label directions back within 48 hours, or design it live in our 3D browser tool. Their branding up front — never ours.

04
We Deliver

Bottles arrive ahead of the event date, ready to pour, gift or set at a place setting. Nothing for your team to assemble on site.

Six Handcrafted Cocktails · One Custom Label

Our Cocktails. Their Bottle.

Distilled in small batches. Mix and match across any single order — a wedding can run three flavors and one label.

Where It Fits Your Book

From Backyard Picnics To Elegant Soirees.

Your words, not ours. Here’s where a custom bottle earns its place on the proposal.

Wedding Receptions

A signature cocktail with the couple’s monogram on the label — set at each place, stacked on the bar, or sent home as the favor. The Knot’s Best Caterer deserves a favor people keep.

Corporate Events

Company logo, event name, conference date. The branded takeaway that doesn’t end up in a hotel trash can with the tote bag.

Elegant Cocktail Parties

Six recipes, small-batch and ready to pour. Your bartenders keep the line moving; the bottle does the talking on the back bar.

Business Socials & Luncheons

A finishing touch on a seated meal, or a gift at each seat for a client-appreciation lunch. Low volume, high impression.

Milestone & Anniversary Dinners

Serif type, deep navy, foil monogram. A bottle that looks like it was commissioned — because it was.

Convention & Bridal Clients

Repeat clients, repeat labels. Once a design is on file, a reorder is a phone call.

You Handle It

Build It Into The Proposal

Custom cocktails become a line on the Brancato’s proposal alongside the bar package and the rentals. You order, we produce, you deliver it as part of the event. The client experiences one vendor: you.

Good To Know

Questions You’re Probably Already Asking.

Does this conflict with our bar program or liquor license?

It shouldn’t, and we’ll make sure of it before anything is signed. Maux is a producer, and the way a producer can work with a licensed caterer is governed by federal tied-house rules and Kansas ABC regulations. That’s a conversation for our first call — with your counsel in the loop if you’d like. We would rather structure this correctly from day one than put your license anywhere near a gray area.

What’s the lead time?

Three weeks from label approval to bottles in hand. For a book of business that’s often planning nine to eighteen months out, that’s comfortable — but it does mean last-minute additions need a conversation rather than a click.

Is there a minimum order?

Twenty-four bottles per order, and you can mix flavors within that. A 150-guest reception, a 40-person board dinner and a client-appreciation luncheon all clear it comfortably.

Who designs the label?

Your choice. Use our 3D browser designer to drop in a logo, set the colors and spin the bottle live — under ten minutes. Or hand it to our studio and we’ll come back with two directions in 48 hours with revisions included. Either way the client’s branding is the hero; ours sits quietly on the back.

Can we sample before committing to anything?

Yes, and we’d insist on it. We’ll ship a tasting kit of all six to 5050 Kansas Ave so your chefs, your coordinators and your bar leads can try them before a single client ever hears the name Maux. If your team doesn’t like them, we’d rather know that now.

Where can bottles ship?

We ship to most of the country. Delivery to the venue, to your facility, or direct to a client — whichever fits the event. We’ll confirm the current state list on our call.

Do you work with our competitors in Kansas City?

We came to you first, deliberately. Exclusivity in the KC market is on the table and is one of the things we’d like to talk through.

Let’s Talk

One Call. No Commitment.

No form, no queue, no application to be reviewed. You get a name and a number — the same person who’ll be on this account from the first call onward.
