Arlington's Owners,

Brian & Melissa Reilly

When Ebben Moore brought his vision of Arlington’s to downtown Springfield, I doubt he realized how many joyous memories he would help create. The ambience and grace of Arlington’s is the centerpiece of any enjoyable social event. 

Brian and Melissa Reilly were honored that Ebben approached them to continue his vision and entrust them with his numerous annual events. 

With years of history with the Broadway location, including concerts, restaurant experience and special events, and having had a memorable date at Arlington’s when they were courting, they always had fond memories of Arlington’s and Ebben’s capable event management practices. It’s their dream to continue Arlington’s varied and prominent legacy and bring a cozy elegance to your next memorable event. 

The Reilly’s began their entrepreneurial adventure in 2017 with Cured Catering.

A Cure for Catering

Catering doesn’t have to be boring, and it shouldn’t be. Business owners Brian and Melissa Reilly have used this philosophy to create something different; a company that takes a fresh approach to the often stale catering market. Relying on skills honed in over 20 years of management, hospitality and special event services, the Reillys set out to create a fusion of fresh and interesting foods with artistic and engaging displays. The result was Cured Catering.

THE SWEET SOUND

The core of Cured Catering is great food, sourced locally and made from scratch. Coming from a background in live music production as well as food service, Reilly explains, “I approach each dish kind of like putting together a band, or writing a song. Each part needs to compliment the other and, with plenty of practice, you can form something unique and pretty awesome.” Cured starts with sourcing the best ingredients from local purveyors. They then tweak and transform each dish until it’s a perfect blend of downhome familiarity and undiscovered flavor combinations. Like music for your mouth.

SETTING THE STAGE

Great food is a great start, but Cured doesn’t stop there. From hand-built displays to lighting and stage effects, Brian and Melissa are constantly building their collection of interesting and eye-catching presentation pieces.

“I look at each station as a stage,” says owner Brian Reilly. “I want each guest, as they walk into one of our events, to look over at our displays and know, before they even taste, that we are offering something more. Brides and grooms, event coordinators, even just home party planners, spend so much time on every detail of an event. Often the food is overlooked, or just placed as an afterthought. We want the food to be a focus. We want our guests to leave with lasting impressions, and pics on their phones to prove it.”
