LM Catering
LM Catering & Events is the team people turn to when they want a different take on catering. We’re cool and artsy and we show people how to think outside the ballroom. Our customers love us because on the one hand we’re a touch unconventional, but on the other we’re completely professional. We pay attention to every last detail.

Tania Paez
Director of Catering Sales
Tania has been thriving in our fast-paced industry for 18 years. Early on, a brilliant mentor told her that hospitality is a lot like the mafia — once you’re in, you never really leave — and he wasn’t wrong! She’s still going strong, fueled by her love of food and wine, which makes every day that much more enjoyable.
Over the years, Tania has gained experience across the restaurant, hotel, venue, and entertainment sectors, giving her a well-rounded perspective on creating unforgettable experiences. She truly loves what she does, and working at a one-of-a-kind venue like Lacuna makes it even more rewarding.

Ximena Cantu Martinez
Catering & Sales Coordinator
Born and raised in Mexico, Ximena has always been drawn to the warmth and hospitality that define her culture, and she's passionate about bringing the same welcoming spirit here in the U.S. With experience in event coordination both in Mexico and the States, she brings a fresh and exciting perspective to weddings, parties, and corporate events, making sure every small detail is thoughtfully planned, and every guest feels at home. She loves the uniqueness of Lacuna and the opportunity to make every client's event just as one-of-a-kind as the space itself.
