Our Team
Josiah Williams - Owner and Founder
“The thing that I love about Eclipse is that we are one big family and we love to see each other succeed. It is the only catering company in Mid Missouri that offers their employees health insurance and benefits. The number one thing in business are our employees because they will ultimately take you to the next level. Without them, there will be no Eclipse.”
Leanne Geiss - Owner and Event Specialist
“We chose Eclipse as a symbol of rebirth and renewal. We knew we could create something special and unique to serve our community. Through out extensive menu, historic venue and community relationships, there is no one else who offers what we do in Columbia. We are the largest locally owned and locally operated catering company in Columbia.”
Katie McKay - Catering Manager

Kelly Gillespie - Banquet Director
“Eclipse is a home away from home to me! Everyone has so much passion and love for what we do, and it is so enjoyable to be a part of a business that just keeps growing. Our team is truly a family, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds!”
Doug Pierce - Facilities Manager
“Eclipse catering is more than just a job or employment, at this point Eclipse has become a career. I've seen many employees come and go with the exception of a handful that have been around for many years. With these people now becoming the core of a great company. Constantly growing and adding new employees to fill our ever expanding growth we've become a successful business that still keeps our family roots alive. Eclipse Catering is a great company to work for with growth potential for employees and the business alike.”
Tracy Buesing - Catering Sales Manager
“Eclipse the company is awesome. I have never seen such hands-on and supportive ownership & leadership.

Not to mention all the fun we have together while creating magical moments people keep with them for a lifetime.”
