Puff ’n Stuff Catering, one of Florida’s leading full-service catering and event companies, today announced its expansion into Greater Miami, bringing more than four decades of experience producing standout events across Florida to the South Florida market. From luxury weddings and milestone celebrations to galas, corporate events, meetings and large-scale social functions, Puff ’n Stuff has built its reputation by pairing chef-driven food and beverage with elevated design, polished service and the operational expertise to execute events at scale. Joining the team in Miami is acclaimed Chef Dewey LoSasso, who brings more than three decades of hospitality experience and deep ties to the local dining community.
Since establishing its Florida roots in Tampa and Orlando more than two decades ago, Puff ’n Stuff has grown into one of the state’s most established off-premise catering and events companies, with operations across multiple Florida markets. The company was named Orlando Magazine’s Best Caterer, earned six The Knot Best of Weddings awards and was inducted into The Knot Best of Weddings Hall of Fame.
Supporting its expansion into the market, Puff ’n Stuff has established a new commissary kitchen in Coral Gables, bringing the culinary talent, trained staff, equipment and production capabilities to serve events of all sizes, while maintaining the high-touch approach of a boutique event partner.
At the heart of the Puff ’n Stuff experience is food and beverage designed to be part of the celebration. Offerings range from butler-passed hors d’oeuvres, interactive chef bars and action stations, elegant plated dinners, abundant displays, sophisticated bar programs and late-night culinary moments. Behind the scenes, chefs, captains, servers, bartenders, planners and production teams work together to manage the full experience, from menu development and staffing to decor, tablescapes, branding, signage and service flow.
“Miami is a natural next chapter for Puff ’n Stuff,” said Tracy Vessillo, president of Puff ’n Stuff Catering. “It’s a dynamic market with an incredible hospitality culture, a world-class events scene and clients who value creativity and memorable experiences. We’re excited to bring the level of culinary excellence, personalization and service our clients have come to expect to events throughout South Florida.”
In South Florida, that culinary experience will be led by LoSasso, a Culinary Institute of America-trained chef and member of Miami’s pioneering “Mango Gang.” Throughout his distinguished career, he has served as personal chef to Donatella Versace and helmed the kitchens of some of the region’s most acclaimed restaurants including The Forge, North One 10 and Tuscan Steak, as well as New York City’s Hudson Hotel. He has also created exceptional dining experiences for notable guests including Bill Clinton, Alicia Keys, Gloria Estefan, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Al Pacino.
“Miami has been an important part of my culinary journey, and after working in the catering business for over a decade, I’m excited to help introduce Puff ’n Stuff to this market in a meaningful way,” said LoSasso. “There’s an incredible energy to events here. You have to deliver outstanding food, but you also have to create an unforgettable experience. With Puff ’n Stuff, we have the culinary talent, service expertise and operational strength to do both—whether we’re creating an intimate private dinner or serving hundreds of guests at a major celebration.”
Puff ’n Stuff is now booking events throughout South Florida. Clients and planners can connect with the Puff ’n Stuff team to begin planning a customized culinary and event experience at puffnstuff.com.
