Your Oklahoma Cheese sisters!
A women-owned catering company in OKC
Meet the sisters behind the charcuterie boards!
Welcome! I am honored and grateful you are here. I have been a stay at home Mom for the last 7 years and prior to that I worked as a registered nurse in women’s health. I married my college sweetheart and love my family. I have always loved celebrating people and enjoy planning all details and touches that go into a beautiful gathering. From baby/wedding showers, birthdays, graduations, weddings, corporate events, holidays, teaching charcuterie classes, and all in between, I would love to partner with you to make your special celebration memorable.
We were created to gather, so let's gather often and celebrate well!
Having a women-owned catering company in OKC for more than 2 years now is really a dream come true. Never did I think something I started in the driveway while my children were playing chalk would grow into a business that I get so much joy from! Its my creative outlet, a way to connect with others, and way to serve those around me. The opportunities my charcuterie business has given me are endless! From being featured on the front page of an OKC magazine, to a grazing table set up at the senate floor of the state capital, to a massive charcuterie board the width of a basketball court—I’m so grateful!
As my business has grown, my youngest sister, Abby, now works with me! This is one of the biggest blessings of Boards by Kelly. Abby brings so much fun, creativity, and joy to our women-owned catering company. Getting to teach charcuterie classes or create grazing tables together while catching up on motherhood and life really is the best!
Taking the stress out of what to buy, what to serve, and how to arrange your party tray in OKC it is what we are here for! We love to make your event catering seamless from the initial conversation, planning details, and setting up at your event. Our hope is at by the end of your event, you will have been fully present with your friends, family, and co-workers without all the stress of catering and setting up! Now that’s a party!!
Even though I have been setting up charcuterie boards for a long time now, I always enjoy finding fresh charcuterie board inspiration from current trends and discovering new cheeses at the store. There is just something special about trying a new cheese for the first time!
Hi, I’m Kelly!
Meet Abby!
My name is Abby and I am Kelly’s youngest sister! I am a lover of all foods, music, and being creative. I feel as if charcuterie is a perfect hobby for me. It’s a way to be creative through food and make a vision come to life by all the charcuterie boards I create. It is so fun to go to the store to find new charcuterie board inspiration ideas to put on my boards. I enjoy getting to find new cheeses that become my new favorites! Party trays in OKC is exactly what I enjoy eating and creating! Being a part of a women-owned catering company is something I am really proud of and it has been such a fun journey learning how to grow our business alongside Kelly.
At home, you will catch me eating dark chocolate peanut butter cups from Trader Joe’s or drinking a coffee trying to match the energy from my kids! I joke and say that Kelly and I have become cheese connoisseurs by now. My favorite cheese on a charcuterie board is smoked gouda or even better-spicy gouda!

The board that started it all…and where I got my charcuterie board inspiration!
In November of 2021, when my daughter turned 3 years old, she requested a “Princess Belle birthday”, from her favorite movie, Beauty and the Beast. With the French theme, I decided to make my first charcuterie board for our friends and family. The beauty of trying things for the first time for those closest to you, is that if the charcuterie board is a complete train wreck, they will still eat the charcuterie board with smiles on their faces! And as any loving and supporting family member would say “this is the best party tray in OKC I’ve ever had!!”
I stayed up way too many late evenings watching YouTube videos on how to style charcuterie boards and finding charcuterie board inspiration. Specifically, how to fold meats, cut cheeses, and arrange them beautifully on a board. The charcuterie board was a huge success and everyone enjoyed grazing!
It then became a hobby and I created charcuterie boards for my church, friends, and family. Several years later, I felt a tug on my heart and took a leap of faith to start Boards by Kelly in February of 2023. Abby and I are trusting God’s leading for every open and closed door along the way. What a rewarding journey it has been!
