Meet Our Social Butterflies:
The Team Behind the Flavor & Exceptional Service
At Social Butterfly Catering, our team is more than a group of servers and chefs — we’re a family of hospitality pros who believe every guest deserves to feel welcomed, cared for, and wowed. Every event we touch is infused with warmth, precision, and the kind of thoughtful service that makes people feel special.
Our team’s roots run deep in the Norman hospitality scene. Social Butterfly Catering was born out of the Sooner Bowling Center, where owner Mandy Haws has spent years perfecting the balance of great food, seamless service, and warm hospitality for groups of all sizes. Today, we bring that same expertise — and the same heart for hosting — to events all over Norman, Moore, South Norman (Blanchard, Noble, Purcell, Newcastle), and the OKC metro.
Meet Heather, our Virtual Assistant & Client Care Coordinator.
She’s the first friendly face (and inbox!) you’ll connect with when you inquire about catering. Heather keeps our events (and us) organized, manages the details, and helps our team deliver the seamless experience Social Butterfly Catering is known for.

What We Bring to Every Event
Hospitality from the Heart
We treat your guests like our own family — anticipating needs before they’re spoken and creating a genuine, welcoming atmosphere.
Flawless Execution
From setup to cleanup, every detail is handled with care so you can simply enjoy the moment.
Adaptable & Unflappable
Whether it’s a last-minute change in the timeline or a new dietary request, our team moves quickly and smoothly to keep your event stress-free.
Teamwork in Motion
We work seamlessly together, moving as one to ensure every guest feels taken care of.
The Magic Behind the Scenes
Long before the first guest arrives, our crew is prepping ingredients, perfecting presentations, syncing schedules, and making sure every element is ready for a flawless experience. That behind-the-scenes is our unseen magic that makes your event feel effortless.
Let us bring the cuisine and the hospitality to your next event — and see why our team is at the heart of everything we do.
Here’s how our process flows:
01.
Event Intake & Planning
From the moment you submit a request, Kaitlin and Heather manage the details. They check availability, confirm staffing needs, and connect with you about menus, budget, and vision.
02.
Menu Development
They collaborate with Chef Zach and Prep Chef Willie to craft seasonal menus, plan quantities, and accommodate dietary needs.
03.
Event Design
Nickson and LaQuinta focus on creative details — linens, color coordination, and table presentation — ensuring the look matches the feel of your event.
04.
Catering & Service
Our banquet team delivers, sets up, and provides attentive service, packing leftovers with care.
05.
Bar Services
If your event includes a bar, Bar Manager Vicki and our fully licensed bartenders prep, pour, and keep service smooth and safe.
06.
Wrap-Up
After guests leave, the team handles a thorough cleanup and debriefs for continuous improvement.
This system ensures every event — whether at OU, in Norman or Moore, or across the OKC metro — runs seamlessly from intake to cleanup.
