ABOUT US
Since 1991, Lon Lane’s Inspired Occasions has served the catering needs of Kansas City’s most prominent citizens and corporations. Catering is more than picking a menu. Every event is an experience. Our tenured and talented Event Planners and chefs bring to life the individual themes and dreams of each client. Inspired Occasions is comprised of a team of 15 in-house employees and nearly 50 on-site staff that execute events ranging from intimate dinners for 2 to major events for 5,000 or more guests.

This includes familiarity with event proposal formats, rental schedules, style sheets, cost recaps, tracking forms, and other relevant documentation.
