CW Events. Thoughtful Catering Rooted in Latin American Tradition

For Cristina Weimert, great food and memorable gatherings have always gone hand in hand. As the founder of CW Events, she has built a catering and events business grounded in attention to detail, hospitality, and the belief that food can transform a moment into an experience.

Cristina’s passion comes from watching people arrive at an event and instantly feel excitement and care. She is inspired by beautifully designed spaces, thoughtful presentation, and the joy guests experience when everything feels intentional and well done. Her love for feeding people is deeply personal, shaped by her South American roots where women express love through cooking and hospitality as a daily ritual.

Her journey into entrepreneurship began close to home. Cristina planned and organized her own wedding for 75 guests, managing every detail from start to finish. That experience confirmed her passion for events and catering and showed her that creating meaningful moments through food was more than an interest, it was a calling. She officially registered CW Events on June 1st, marking the start of a business focused on flavor, precision, and personalized service.

Inspired by Family and Tradition

Family history plays a central role in how Cristina approaches food and business. In South American households, meals are not simply about eating. They are about presence, care, and bringing people together throughout the day. Those values guide everything CW Events creates, from menu development to guest experience.

Cristina believes that simplicity done well is powerful. CW Events uses high-quality ingredients and avoids unnecessary additives, flavorings, or colorings. Meals are seasoned only with salt and pepper, allowing natural flavors to stand on their own. This approach reflects her belief that food should be honest, intentional, and rooted in tradition.

Latin American cuisine is at the heart of CW Events. Through her menus, Cristina introduces guests to new flavors, textures, and aromas while honoring the dishes and techniques that have been passed down through generations. Her goal is to create food that feels familiar to some and exciting to others, all while bringing people together around the table.

Using Food to Bring People Together

CW Events stands out in Baltimore’s catering scene by using food as a way to unite people across backgrounds. Cristina sees Latin American cuisine as a bridge, especially in a city as diverse as Baltimore. Her menus are designed to feel welcoming, balanced, and satisfying, offering guests an experience that goes beyond the plate.

Her approach is also influenced by her mother, who has lived with diabetes for more than 30 years. Watching her mother cook with discipline and intention taught Cristina the importance of balance and thoughtful preparation. CW Events limits sugar in desserts, uses natural ingredient alternatives when possible, and serves hot beverages without added sugar, offering natural honey instead.

Looking Toward the Future

Cristina’s immediate focus is on growth with purpose. Her next step is fully equipping a commercial kitchen and ensuring all operational requirements are met. Once established, she plans to open a welcoming restaurant where people of all nationalities feel at home.

She hopes the aroma and flavor of CW Events’ food will transport guests back to their roots, reminding them of family kitchens, shared meals, and the grandmothers who cooked with love. That sense of familiarity and warmth is central to her vision.

An Invitation to the Table

Cristina hopes first-time guests delight in discovering new flavors and aromas. For those already familiar with Latin American cuisine, she wants the food to feel like a return home. Above all, she wants every guest to experience food prepared with care, intention, and respect for tradition.

“At the table, we all share something in common,” she says. “Delicious food made with love, without unnecessary additives. Just salt and pepper.”

Through CW Events, Cristina Weimert is creating more than catered meals. She is creating moments of joy, remembrance, and celebration, one gathering at a time.
