Cindy Lutini's Event Concierge

This month, Stroll Inside the Gates spotlights Cindy Lutini’s Event Concierge, a local business with the mission to facilitate unforgettable and seamless events. Cindy Lutini’s Event Concierge goes beyond catering, offering expert assistance with event decor, specialized custom “Gift Baskets on a Mission,” and a range of culinary experiences designed to create unforgettable celebrations, including in-home interactive cooking classes.

Cindy Lutini’s Event Concierge began as Cindy Lutini’s Pasta for Life, founded in 2008 by owner Cindy Shultz.  In 2013, Cindy opened Cindy Lutini’s Catering LLC, and in 2025 she expanded her business model to incorporate Cindy Lutini’s Event Concierge.   Over the years, Cindy has crafted a team of dedicated personnel, each chosen for their specific skill set, offering in-home private and group interactive cooking classes, lavish gourmet grazing gatherings, and curated menus tailored to each client’s individual preferences.   Wine pairings and specialty delicacies are also available for the ultimate dining experience. Examples include Cindy’s signature “Ben Ben’s Spiced Pecans”, “Lutini’s Chunky’s”, and the brand new “Lutini’s O’Funnel”.

In addition to their exquisite culinary offerings, Cindy Lutini’s Event Concierge can arrange to further enhance your events, dinner parties and special occasions with exquisite floral arrangements, musicians, and other talented individuals as requested. 

“The start of Cindy Lutini’s Event Concierge was a truly unique journey for both Jean Silbereisen and me,” recounts Cindy. “When our tenure at Olive + Hive ended, we began brainstorming new directions to expand my business. As Jean worked at my interactive cooking classes, we developed a bond that we have treasured for many years prior to meeting - creating and sharing meals. We then set our sights on continuing the legacy that I had already established, but this time as a team.” 

One thing that sets Cindy Lutini’s Event Concierge apart is their “Gift Baskets on a Mission”. This idea began as a goal to furnish other foodies with an array of specialty gift baskets and gift boards, utilizing items that would encourage them to continue to expand their in-home culinary experiences. These baskets include practical, purposeful and educational components which highlight one or more of Cindy Lutini’s original recipes. Also included in each basket are serving pieces to elevate the presentation of the finished recipe.   

Cindy and her team love to give back to Georgia’s Lake Country in any way that they can. Since 2008, the organization’s involvement with the Lake Oconee community has grown to include work with OPAS (Oconee Performing Arts Society), the LO Humane Society, The Boys & Girls Club, Wake for Warriors Lake Oconee, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Neighbor to Neighbor, the LO Board of Realtors, and other organizations/foundations stretching beyond the lake area.
