A little about me

Troy Fagnani is a culinary executive with more than 18 years of experience directing both large and small events for academic, corporate, and non-profit organizations. Raised in a very social Italian family, Troy knows how to create warm and energetic events with delicious food for his clients and their guests. He began his culinary career as a bartender in a busy college town and later worked for a large party rental supplier in Northern California.  He successfully blended his marketing and sales experience with his love of food and hand-crafted libations into a new business venture.

 

Troy is equally comfortable coordinating logistics for large scale events at the LA Memorial Coliseum as he is planning intimate sales meetings for corporate clients at multi-million dollar homes in Malibu.  His attention to detail and coolness under pressure make him a great partner for clients and event planners alike. Troy lives in Southern California with his wife and two children.  He enjoys entertaining, discovering new recipes and grilling most everything outdoors.

 

  • Amazing! Distinctive Catering catered our sons second birthday party. They were fabulous. The food was great. Our theme was on the farm; the menu included bbq pork and chicken sandwiches, Mac and cheese, corn on the cob, baked beans, Cole slaw, potatoe salad and fruit salad. The kids loved it and the adults kept telling me how great it was. Ray and Troy were amazing. Working with Heidi was easy. The whole thing was stress free. Distinctive Catering will be invited to many parties in the future!!!

  • I was referred by a friend who had used this catering company before for a few parties. I really enjoyed the food! We had an office training meeting this morning and had Raymond provide the omelet bar, fruit, pastries and drinks. The food was amazing! Everything was fresh and served to order. Great friendly service! We will be using them again.
