Cultured Creative Studios

Cultured Creative Studios is the professional home of Colette Wetzel. Founded in 2017 as Cultured Grazing Company, it has grown from catering, food styling and events into a full creative partnership model, working with luxury brands at the intersection of aesthetics, storytelling, and a considered life.

Our work is grounded in intention, beauty, and the belief that thoughtful experiences bring people together.

Our Services

All engagements are project-based and custom quoted. If you're a brand with a seasonal moment, campaign, or event coming up, I'd love to hear about it.

    A single campaign, shoot, or seasonal moment — conceived and directed by Colette from brief through delivery.

    Tier 02 — Full Execution · Select Events

    Launch Event · Editorial Gathering

    Together we will collaborate on a brand experience: a dinner, a launch event, an editorial gathering as a creative partner. See below for a full breakdown.

  • Ongoing · Brand Collaboration

    An ongoing creative partnership across a season or a year. Colette as a creative voice and brand ambassador present across content, events, and direction. The brand's world and Colette's world overlap by design. Minimum three months.

Brand Dining Experience

Tier 01 — Creative Direction & Table Styling

Colette conceives the full food experience for your event or brand experience. She writes the seasonal menu, develops the recipes, styles the table, directs the photography, and creates the content. Your team or a hired caterer executes the food. The result looks and feels entirely considered.

Includes: seasonal menu concepting, optional recipe development or direction, table styling, photography direction, content creation, and event creative brief.

Tier 02 — Full Execution · Select Events From $4,500 · inquire for availability

For select events, Colette takes on the full experience — concepting, cooking, hosting, and capturing. She is the creative director, the chef, and the host.

Availability is limited. Colette takes on a small number of full-execution events each season, chosen for fit and creative alignment.

Includes: everything in Tier 01 plus full food preparation and on-site hosting. Guest count and ingredient costs quoted per event.

Past Brand Dining Experiences

Boot Barn — Galentine's Dinner, Austin TX, 2024. A western-dressed dinner for a group of friends. Seasonal menu written and cooked by Colette, coordinated photographer, a full reel, and all imagery delivered to the brand.

Boot Barn — Under The Big Sky Festival, Montana, 2024 & 2025. Colette created and cooked morning breakfasts for the brand's influencer house at Montana's premier country music festival. Coletter curated the breakfasts, cooked and presented the meals each morning of the festival. Colette attended the festival as a content creator for the brand both in 2024 and 2025.

Sézane — Austin, Texas, 2023, 3 day installation for Sézane’s Austin pop-up. 3 Grazing Tables and Graze Cups | Farmer's Market Grazing Table, Austin TX, 2024, 4 day installation. Colette brought Sézane's farmer's market concept to life as a full grazing table installation over multiple days and events during their pop-up grand opening on South Congress in Austin, Texas, including her signature pink butter — whipped beet butter that became the table's signature moment.

Flourish Plant Co. — Launch Photoshoot / Campaign, Austin, Texas, 2022. Colette styled the full food and table scenes for Flourish Plant Co.'s debut launch shoot — shopping for and sourcing the ingredients, then styling multiple scenes across a full day of production. She also modeled in the shoot. The resulting images were used as a guerrilla marketing campaign plastered across New York City.

Austin Jam Company — Extended Partnership, Austin TX. An ongoing creative partnership with Austin Jam Company spanning multiple editions of recipe development and food/ table styling. Colette developed seasonal recipes built around the brand's products, styled the table and food scenes for photoshoots, and delivered imagery and creative direction across an extended engagement. This is the Creative Partner in Residence model in practice.

California Olive Ranch — Recipe Development & Content Creation, 6 month partnership, 2 recipes per month. Colette developed recipes and created content for California Olive Ranch, one of the country's most recognized olive oil brands. The engagement combined recipe development with editorial content creation — building brand-facing material that lived within Colette's aesthetic world while speaking directly to the brand's audience. Reels were collaboration posts on California Olive Ranch instagram and Cultured Creative Studios instagram.

A note on table styling as a standalone: Colette also offers table styling as a standalone service for brand shoots, product launches, and editorial content — separate from the full event model. If you need a table that looks like it belongs in a campaign, that's a separate conversation. Inquire at colette@cultured-studios.com.
