Our Story
Oak + Olive is a Raleigh-based food and floral studio specializing in elevated grazing experiences and bespoke floral design. Inspired by the art of gathering, we create thoughtfully curated tables that feel as beautiful as they are inviting.
Every charcuterie board, grazing table, and floral arrangement is designed with an uncompromising attention to detail, using exceptional ingredients, seasonal blooms, and locally sourced elements whenever possible. From artisan cheeses and handcrafted accompaniments to lush, garden-inspired florals, each piece is created to celebrate beauty, abundance, and connection.
Whether you're hosting an intimate dinner, a wedding, a corporate gathering, or a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, Oak + Olive transforms ordinary moments into unforgettable experiences. We believe the most memorable events are defined by the details—artful presentation, impeccable quality, and genuine hospitality.
Pax Baptist, Founder and Chief Grazer
Oak + Olive was born from my belief that the most meaningful moments happen around a beautiful table.
I've always found joy in bringing people together, whether it's an intimate evening at home with my husband and two children or a celebration shared with family, friends, or colleagues, there is something special about creating a space where people slow down, connect, and savor time together.
What began as a love for thoughtfully curated charcuterie has grown into a luxury food and floral studio dedicated to creating unforgettable gatherings. Every grazing table is intentionally designed using exceptional ingredients, seasonal produce, artisan cheeses, and carefully chosen details that feel both abundant and effortless.
At Oak + Olive, we believe hospitality is an art. It isn't simply about serving beautiful food—it's about creating an experience that welcomes, delights, and brings people together. I'm so grateful you're here, and I can't wait to be a small part of your next celebration.
