TASTINGS Once your date is set, and a venue is secured, we will arrange for a complimentary tasting for up to three guests.
Additional guests can be paid for with a credit card in advance at $50 per guest. If you sign a contract within seven days of the tasting any additional guest fees will be deducted from your final bill. Tastings are held on Tuesday – Thursday at 11am, 1pm, 3pm and 5pm and will need to be scheduled two weeks in advance

Upgraded china and glassware are available at an additional cost per person.

STAFFING In addition to your food cost, your full service quote will include a staffing fee. This fee will take your specific needs, style and length of event taken into consideration.
All events will have an Event Manager, a Culinary Lead, culinary staff based on the menu chosen, wait staff, and a culinary steward for safety, sanitation, and cleaning.
Note that we must factor in four hours for set up and tear down outside of your event hours. While we will always try to accommodate our client’s budgets, there are certain standards we feel we must meet with our labor proposals.

PLANNING AND GUARANTEES
First, tell us your date, time, location, estimated attendance, likes and desires. We will design a custom menu proposal for you, then we can chat and set up planning and tasting meeting.
Once the tasting is completed and you love us, you will be asked to sign a contract and provide a deposit within two weeks to secure your date. Remember your date is only tentative, until we receive your deposit. We will have numerous phone and email interactions, walk throughs and in person meetings to plan your fabulous event and ensure all your questions are answered.
Four weeks before your event you will be asked to update your estimated attendance and answer a series of tie down questions so we can begin our final preparation phase.
Ten days prior to your event you will be asked for your guarantee. If we do not hear from you on the specified date, your original estimate shall be considered your guarantee. You may not reduce your guarantee from that point on, but you will be able to add to it within reason up to 72 hours before your event.
If you need to add guests within the last 72 hours, we will do everything possible to accommodate you, but we may have to make some substitutions due to the short notice.
Onsite you will have one of our experienced event managers to work with your wedding coordinator, or appointed representative to oversee all the details of your event catering.
