We are Nancy & Gus Silivos, you have known us for years as Skopelos Catered Events. We have moved across the street to our new location and with that move have taken a name that embodies who we are and what we do. We are now Nancy’s Haute Affairs; we remain the elite caterer of Northwest Florida. The very definition of Haute defines us… careful preparations, elaborate service, critical acclaim, and, most importantly, obsessive attention to detail. We bring a depth of talent that ensures that your event will be exceptional and remembered.
From corporate parties, grand openings, formal weddings, intimate dinners, seaside crab boils, old fashioned picnics, garden parties, and mardi gras events, we can make your visions a reality. We have a warehouse of wonderful props that we use to create unique buffets. The props and service are a result of years of collecting. From beautiful silver pieces and rare antique finds to a vast array of fun and distinctive items, we continue to search for and to expand our collection and we use them to make your event one of a kind.
