BOOKING AN EVENT

Your perfect celebration starts with all the information. 

STEP-BY-STEP

WHAT IS THE TYPICAL PROCESS FOR WORKING WITH A NEW CLIENT?

Like what you see? Spectacular! You're nearly ready to get in touch. Here's a breakdown of what to expect from start to finish:​1. A few things to consider:​

  •   Event Date – Let me know if you have a specific date in mind or have some flexibility so I can check the event schedule.


  •   Event Size – In your consultation, all I'll need to know is your event's maximum headcount. This will expedite the process of estimating the price of your event as this detail is required for a binding quoted contract.


  •   Event Location (for on-site service) – If you already know where your event is going to be held, great. If you’re still shopping around for venues, be sure to look for ones that allow off-site catering.

  •   Standard or Premium Ingredients

  •   Budget – Considering the former, determine your budget per person. This will cover the consultation, menu, and planning. Review the additional fees that may apply carefully so you're comfortable moving forward. 

 â€‹2. Now: Get in Touch​   You’ve got your basic info, so now it’s time to get in touch. Please message me with your details and any inquiries you may have. You'll be contacted to schedule a 15-minute phone call within 24 hours. 3. Planning Your Menu    Now for the fun part – menu planning! We’ll discuss what kind of menu you’re looking for and what services are needed for your event, including serving ware rentals. This is where my expertise really comes in handy – I'll help you determine what quantities you'll need to satisfy your guests and how to maximize your menu's diversity within your budget, or keep things satisfyingly simple, that's cool too​4. Putting It Down On Paper   Once your menu is finalized and we’ve figured out which services you’ll need, I’ll put together a final write-up/quote that outlines everything we agreed to. You’ll confirm we’re in agreement and put down a deposit. 5. What Happens Next?   What comes next depends on how far out your event is. I always make sure to check in to confirm last-minute details, such as where to park, what time we’ll arrive for setup or dropoff, dietary accommodations, and other details. A detailed run-of-show will be provided for our agreed-upon services to ensure everyone is on the same page. If you have any questions during this period, you can message, email, text, or call me--I'll do my best to answer in a timely fashion. 6. Event Day   On your event day, we’ll be ready to go as planned. You can count on my team to show up at the agreed-upon time with everything needed to make your menu a resounding success.    Depending on the services you've selected, we’ll either drop off your food or provide these additional services for the duration of the meal, including cleanup.

WHAT SHOULD A POTENTIAL CLIENT KNOW ABOUT YOUR PRICING (E.G., TAXES, FEES)?

Your quoted per-person cost will cover the menu and food but a service fee will apply to your contract which will be determined by your party size, operating expenses, and additional services.

  • Serving Ware Rentals


  • Table and Flatware Rental


  • On-site Chef Services

*Rush Fees occur only in the instance of last-minute service or menu requests that must be accommodated the day before or day of your event


Deposits:

To reserve your date and time for services after your consultation, there will be a non-refundable $100 fee that will be applied to your overall balance.


You will be required to submit a 50% deposit on your finalized quote for services 10 days prior to your event.


The remainder of your invoice will be due on the day of service.
