About Copper Social

At Copper Social Catering + Hospitality, we believe exceptional events begin with exceptional hospitality..

A New Chapter Built on a Trusted Foundation


While our name may be new, our story is built on a foundation of experience, relationships, and hospitality that Arizona clients have trusted for years.

Formerly known as Straight to the Plate Catering, our team has proudly served businesses, organizations, couples, families, and communities throughout Arizona, creating memorable culinary experiences and delivering exceptional service. Today, we are excited to continue that legacy as Copper Social Catering + Hospitality.

Copper Social represents more than a new name—it reflects our vision for the future. We believe great events are about more than great food. They are about bringing people together, creating meaningful connections, and delivering hospitality that leaves a lasting impression.

Whether it’s an executive breakfast, nonprofit gala, wedding celebration, employee appreciation event, or private gathering, our goal is simple: to create unforgettable culinary journeys through thoughtful service, fresh cuisine, and genuine hospitality.

Honoring Our Legacy

After years of building a respected and successful catering company, Straight to the Plate founder Brett has entered a well-earned retirement.

As part of this transition, ownership has been passed to Beth Pedersen, a longtime member of the company who is proud to continue leading the talented team, culinary professionals, and event experts who have helped build our reputation throughout the Valley.

While our name has changed, the values that made us successful remain the same: exceptional food, reliable service, strong relationships, and a commitment to exceeding expectations.

This next chapter is not about changing who we are.

It’s about building on a legacy of excellence while creating new opportunities to serve our clients, partners, and community for years to come
