ALEXIS FINE DEANGELIS

DIRECTOR OF CATERING

Alexis Fine DeAngelis is the Director of Catering for Bridgewaters and Twenty Four Fifth of The Glazier Group in New York. She has a lifetime's worth of experience in the business beyond her years, as the 4th generation in a family of restaurant and catering specialists.

Alexis' experience growing up included the family business of Fine and Shapiro on Manhattan's Upper West Side, followed by years with a kosher caterer where she "learned from the bottom up in the industry from waitress, to captain, to working in the kitchen prepping food." As a result her understanding of every level in the business is tailored with a respect for everyone she works with, from the chef to the front of the house. Her specialty is translating the high-end fine dining experience with warm hospitality and an eye for detail.

Fine DeAngelis has worked with The Glazier Group for the past seven years managing special events and catering for the New York properties, before taking the role as director this year. Details are never too small, including handmade sugar flowers for place settings, tiny decorated cupcakes, tuiles and specialized cocktails. Recently she introduced a Noodle Bar with varieties from across Asia, a Slider Bar with selections from braised short-rib to portabello mushroom. She plays an essential role in every function at these landmark destinations, which have hosted noteworthy social events for the past two decades.

Fine DeAngelis loves finding the right note of nostalgia for a special day. From a traditional seated dinner, to creating an over-the-top Vermont-style ski lodge, a country picnic or tea party, her enthusiasm and expertise make every event unique.
