Booking & Reservations
How far in advance should I book catering services?
We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for weddings, corporate events, and large celebrations. Popular dates can fill quickly. Ideally, bookings should be made 2–6 months in advance, though we may accommodate smaller events with shorter notice depending on availability.
How do I secure my event date?
Your event date is officially reserved once a signed contract and required retainer (deposit) are received.
Is the retainer refundable?
All retainers are non-refundable, as they secure your event date and require us to reserve staff, equipment, and preparation time exclusively for your event.
When is the final payment due?
Final payment is typically due 7–14 days before the event, unless otherwise specified in your contract.
Do you offer menu tastings?
Yes! Tastings are available for clients considering catering services for their event.
Is there a fee for tastings?
Yes. Tastings are $150 for two people and are non-refundable. If you move forward with booking, the tasting fee may be credited toward your final invoice depending on the event.
When do tastings take place?
Tastings are typically scheduled after the retainer is received and are by appointment only.
