Norman’s Best Kept Secret: Full-Service Catering for Every Occasion

Every great event starts with a story. Ours began in the heart of Norman — inside the kitchen of Sooner Bowling Center — where the scent of comfort food and warm hospitality filled the air.

What started as a simple in-house catering idea quickly grew wings. Guests began to ask, “Can you make this for my event, too?” And just like that, Social Butterfly Catering was born — a full-service catering company built on community, creativity, and a love for making people feel taken care of.

A Legacy of Local Hospitality

If you’ve lived in Norman long enough, chances are you’ve visited Sooner Bowl. Maybe for a birthday party, a fundraiser, or one of those nights where laughter echoed across the lanes. Behind the scenes, Operator Mandy Haws was already thinking bigger — about hospitality that extended beyond bowling parties.

It wasn’t just about serving food. It was about creating moments — the kind of experiences people remember because everything felt easy, polished, and full of heart.

That same spirit carries through today at Social Butterfly Catering. From corporate luncheons in Moore to OU graduation receptions, our team brings warmth, organization, and a touch of elegance to every event.

Proudly family-owned and operated by University of Oklahoma alumni, Social Butterfly Catering believes in serving our community with the same heart and excellence that guided us through our own years at OU. Supporting the home team isn’t just a phrase around here — it’s part of our DNA. Whether we're catering campus events or cheering from the stands, our Sooner spirit shows up in everything we do.

The Heart Behind Full-Service Catering

When we say full-service catering, we mean it. From menu creation to cleanup, our team handles every detail. You’ll find us arranging table linens, setting up buffets, coordinating with event planners, and making sure the food and drinks are perfectly timed.

It’s that attention to detail that allows our clients to relax and actually enjoy their events — whether it’s a baby shower, a business meeting, or a community gala.

And yes, our licensed bartenders bring that same level of professionalism to the bar. Fully ABLE-Law certified and trained in responsible service, they make sure every drink is served safely and with a smile.

Food That Feels Like a Celebration

Every dish that leaves our kitchen is made with intention — recipes that feel familiar yet special, designed to bring people together.

We’ve served everything from elegant steak dinners and colorful salads to grazing tables that become the centerpiece of the night. Our clients often tell us, “It’s the kind of food that just makes you happy.” And that’s exactly what we aim for — comfort wrapped in sophistication.

We also love incorporating seasonal favorites — roasted vegetables in the fall, bright fruit trays in the summer, and hearty casseroles during the holidays. Our menus evolve with the seasons, keeping your event fresh and flavorful.

A Community-Driven Team

What makes Social Butterfly Catering special isn’t just the food — it’s the people. Our staff works like a well-oiled machine: the kitchen crew prepping, the servers setting up, the bartenders greeting guests, and our event coordinators ensuring every timeline runs perfectly.

Many of us have lived in Norman our whole lives. We’ve catered for OU departments, local nonprofits, and family celebrations across the metro. It’s not just work to us — it’s community.
