Planning a company picnic in Arkansas shouldn’t feel overwhelming. At RH Events & Catering, we specialize in creating seamless, memorable experiences for organizations across the Southeast, from Little Rock to Fayetteville, Fort Smith, and beyond. With proven capacity to execute events for up to 24,000 participants, our team is the go-to events and catering company for large industries, including manufacturers, distribution centers, food processing companies, engineering firms, hospitals, and other large facilities or warehouses.

Our approach is designed for HR teams, operations managers, and event planners who need reliable execution, employee engagement, and a positive reflection of company culture.

What We Cater

Family-Inclusive Company Picnics

Our family-centered corporate company picnics are designed to bring employees and their loved ones together in an atmosphere of fun and appreciation. Think kid-friendly food stations, carnival-style games, entertainment zones, and shaded dining areas, all delivered with professional catering logistics.

Employees-Only Appreciation Events

For facilities with multiple shifts or limited space, we offer streamlined, employee-only events. These picnics focus on employee recognition, tailored meal service for shift patterns, and morale-boosting activities without requiring families to attend.

Themed Corporate Gatherings

Engage your employees with an interactive theme. We’ll transform your space into an exciting event site. Plan a holiday-themed brunch or celebrate your employees with a festive dinner. We coordinate with vendors and design teams to bring your vision to life. 

Built for Rural & Mid-Sized Markets

Beyond Little Rock, Fayetteville, and Fort Smith, we regularly support rural plants and mid-sized cities throughout Arkansas, where access, parking, and utilities require special planning. Our mobile kitchen assets, power distribution plans, and refrigerated transport ensure that food quality remains high, regardless of the location. If your facility sits off a state highway with limited vendors nearby, we’re the team that can still execute on time and at scale.

Where We Cater in Arkansas

Little Rock Company Picnics

As the state’s capital, Little Rock offers large campuses and public spaces ideal for picnics. We handle security access, parking, and efficient load-in/out logistics, ensuring your corporate picnic is stress-free.

Fayetteville Company Picnics

Fayetteville’s mid-sized city charm makes it perfect for employee engagement events. Our team accommodates university-area venues, shift-specific scheduling, and the local preference for regional menus.

Fort Smith Company Picnics

With its strong industrial base, Fort Smith is ideal for large-scale catering. We provide mobile kitchens, refrigeration units, and generator support to serve facilities without permanent onsite infrastructure.

Menus Designed for Large-Scale Catering

Our menus are crafted to impress and accommodate diverse groups:

• Southern & Regional Picnic Classics: BBQ, fried chicken, catfish, baked beans, cornbread
• Modern Corporate Fare: grilled proteins, grain bowls, plant-based entrées
• Quick Bites & Concession Stations: popcorn, cotton candy, funnel fries, shaved ice
• Family-Friendly Favorites: mac & cheese bars, taco stations, ice cream novelties

Every menu includes dietary labeling, and we offer buffet or grab-and-go service styles. Browse examples in our menus & gallery.

Operations Built for Enterprise Reliability

Managing events for hundreds, or even thousands of employees, requires a partner who can deliver flawlessly at scale. RH Events & Catering is built to support large organizations and facilities across Arkansas and the Southeast with enterprise-level reliability.

Our proven four-step process ensures consistency, accountability, and smooth execution:

1. Discovery

We start by learning your facility layout, workforce size, shift patterns, and event goals. This step ensures we understand both your culture and your logistical requirements.

2. Plan & Proposal

Our team creates a customized plan that balances budget-conscious recommendations with creative event design. We factor in everything from menu choices to power access, so there are no surprises later.

3. Execution at Scale

On event day, our trained staff, mobile kitchens, and refrigeration units arrive ready to serve. We manage all food safety compliance, power distribution, and equipment setup so your HR team and managers can focus on enjoying the event alongside employees.

4. Wrap & Review

After the last plate is cleared, we handle breakdown, cleanup, and provide a performance recap to highlight what worked well and how future events can be even better.

Arkansas companies often operate in rural or mid-sized markets with limited infrastructure. Our logistics cover every gap, including mobile refrigeration, onsite generators, refrigerated transport, and full sanitation protocols. Whether your event is in downtown Little Rock or at a remote facility off a state highway, we deliver the same high standard, scaling seamlessly for thousands of guests.
