Elizabeth Adams
Owner/Operator
Elizabeth Adams, owner of Uniquely Yours Catering, has been actively involved in the food service industry over the past 29 years. Her involvement began in the early 1980’s when she was responsible for catering and over seeing operations at the San Diego Women’s Club. While doing this, she started a food business in San Diego call “No-Guilt Desserts”. This “Lite” dessert line was soon found being served and sold in restaurants, Costco, and gourmet retail food stores.
In December 1987, Elizabeth moved to beautiful Humboldt County to take a short break and spend quality time with her family. She resumed her passion for catering as the director at Abruzzi Catering in Arcata.
In 2004, the opportunity to purchase her own restaurant, Hurricane Kate’s, became a reality. While running the front of the house operations, Elizabeth continued to cater and build her clientele. Towards the end of 2011 and newly remarried, Elizabeth made the decision to sell Hurricane Kate’s so that she could concentrate solely on her passion for catering.
Elizabeth is an expert when it comes to accommodation and maintaining a budget. Her main focus is to ensure that every event is a success. Clients often report that Elizabeth is friendly, a good listener, and has the uncanny ability to address any issue when planning an event. She embraces the challenges that are unique to each event with excitement and a level head. Each event’s details motivate her to put together a perfect plan to exceed her client’s expectations each and every time.

“When the opportunity arose to have Uniquely Yours cater our annual
Zootini gala in 2012, we jumped at the prospect. Elizabeth is a star
organizer, marshaling her army of helpers in the background so
everything gets done quietly and efficiently. Everyone loved the food,
and we fully expect to hire Uniquely Yours again for future events.”
