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.”

“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.”
