Today we’d like to introduce you to Tori Mayo.
Hi Tori, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today.
Charcu.tori started in the midst of the pandemic. I created this business in hopes of allowing individuals the opportunity of bringing people together through food. Whether that be through their outdoor intimate weddings or drive-thru celebrations during the pandemic.
Eventually, we transitioned to mainly specializing in Grazing Tables as events became larger in scale.
Food brings community together; it allows strangers a common meeting point. Growing up as a Filipino, food was, and always will be, the staple of any celebration! I soon realized I could embrace this idea and combine both my eye for food style, my many years in food service management, and my entrepreneurship to create what is now, Charcu.tori LLC.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Over the years I’ve learned to find balance within my time working for my small business and partaking in my personal endeavors such as school and my full-time job. I am constantly on the go, but I feel blessed to be able to have these numerous opportunities.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Charcu.tori LLC?
Charcu.tori LLC is a charcuterie catering service where we specialize in Grazing Tables. Grazing Tables have evolved into such a luxury service especially for weddings, and large events.
Charcu.tori LLC has always stuck to our brand and aesthetic and never straying away from that. Regardless of how many other charcutiers there are in the area, we view them as valuable assets for referrals, and forming a tight-knit community of people with the same passion for cheese!
Aside from Grazing Tables we also host charcuterie making workshops and even offer bookings for private workshops. Whether you want to host a party with your friends or need something for a team bonding experience for your office, you can’t hire us, and we’ll come to you or refer you to our trusted venues! This is a fun way to add an additional skill to your roster!
Where we are in life is often partly because of others. Who/what else deserves credit for how your story turned out?
Along the way, we have had the amazing opportunity to meet amazing local small businesses and vendors. Throughout these past 3 years, we cannot help but stand by and be proud to watch others grow from where they were when they first started!
From @dannysscratchkitchenllc who makes the most amazing ice cream that pulls together great branded shoots, to @thelittlepicnicclub who I’ve had the chance to offer my services for her luxury picnics. To @auntie.ts.cookies and @stellas.sweetss, who always provide the best desserts for my boards and workshops. @craftinggemms who make the most amazing signage for my grazing tables and @thecourtyardatjulies which is where I’ll be hosting my workshops from here on out. Each and every one of them has played pivotal parts in my growth and service.
To @bandcampbuddies and @theopeningday who have been my favorite friendors from the very start, and to my lovely boyfriend, family, and friends, who supported my growth!
