Stephanie Haston and her daughter, Kayla Haston, of Lebanon have teamed up to create a fun, innovative spin on presenting food and beverages with the creation of their own mobile charcuterie business, The Savory Stagecoach.
“We built The Savory Stagecoach out of a mix of passion and purpose,” Stephanie says. “Kayla thrives on hosting and creating memorable gatherings, and I’ve always been driven to build something creative and meaningful. We noticed a missing piece in our local event scene — and decided to bring something new, interactive and flavorful to the table.”
The Savory Stagecoach wheeled into its first event last year at “Ladies Night in the Village” at Cheveux Salon & Spa in Zionsville. Since then, the business has expanded to serve weddings, corporate functions, festivals, showers and private events throughout central Indiana, including Hamilton, Hendricks, Johnson, Marion, Montgomery and Clinton counties.
“What we offer is more than snacks and sips — it’s a full experience,” Stephanie adds. “It’s not your typical food truck, per se, where we have a set menu. The charcuterie cart is customizable and provides an elevated and personalized interactive grazing experience. The Sip Wagon and Traveling Tap are mobile, customizable and bring a fun energy to any event. Plus, our grab-and-go options like charcuterie cups or mini boxes are perfect for adding personal touches that stand out.”
Charcuterie cups, popular at weddings, parties and corporate events, and charcuterie boxes, ideal for cozy gatherings or gifts, are filled with premium meats, artisanal cheeses, seasonal fresh fruit, vegetables, nuts and sweets.
The Traveling Tap serves craft beer, wine, themed cocktails, cider, seltzers and non-alcoholic options such as kombucha or cold brew, while the Sip Wagon offers fresh lemonade, iced tea, mocktails or custom seasonal drinks.
“Guests often say they love how fresh everything is, and how fun it is to create their own charcuterie cup,” Stephanie says. “It’s not just another grazing table — it’s interactive, unique and something people remember.”
She attributes collaboration with other locally-owned businesses as a key to success. The Savory Stagecoach has partnered with Minute Print It, Hattie’s Coffee House, Zionsville Parks and Recreation, Social AF Bennies Boutique and Graceful Gatherings LLC, all in Boone County.
“We support each other by co-hosting events, sharing resources and promoting one another’s work,” Stephanie says. “It’s all about growing together.”
The Savory Stagecoach will be at the upcoming Indiana Bridal Show at the Indiana State Fairgrounds on Oct. 12. Stephanie recommends booking weddings at least six months ahead, with 40 days’ minimum notice.
“For standard orders like boards or boxes, two weeks is ideal,” she says. “We can sometimes accommodate custom options like mini boxes or charcuterie cups with shorter notice, but planning early helps us deliver the best experience.”
The Savory Stagecoach is located in Lebanon. For more information, call 765-481-8890 or visit savorystagecoach.com.
