About Us
Our Story
At the Lantana, exceptional service has always been a family affair.
Our founders, Maurice and Joan Hart, opened a small catering business out of their Roslindale home in 1956. After many successful parties and perfected recipes, the Harts moved their budding business to a larger venue facility and planted their roots in the South Shore of Boston. As the facility grew larger so did their reputation for extraordinary service.
Today, Maurice and Joan have long since retired. However, the family tradition for stellar service and unforgettable events still continues with Paul Hart, their son. Under his leadership, The Lantana continues to grow, thrive, and achieve new heights of success in Randolph, on the South Shore, and beyond.
We make it our mission to plan every event – down to the smallest detail, finest accent, and freshest dish. That has been our recipe for success and we are proud to say that in 2021 – we will celebrate 50 Years serving our community.
