About Chez Hay Catering
Chez Hay Catering is both a catering vendor and a venue space available for wedding rentals and other events. Chez Hay is owned and operated by couple Sean and Starr Carmichael, who have an extensive background in catering and cooking up innovative creations.
Chef Sean received a culinary degree from Colorado Art Institute in Denver before moving back to work in and operate several restaurants, including Inn Harms Way and J. Finnegan’s, before opening Chez Hay Catering, where he has been for over 17 years. It was in 2018 that he opened their eatery ChezSoDo. Chez Hay Catering’s event space is located in downtown Lincoln and offers an urban setting for any wedding or event.
