Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

We offer competitive pricing tailored to your specific event needs, including customizable menus to fit your budget and preferences. We’re transparent about any additional fees, such as travel or premium ingredient upgrades.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

We start by learning your vision, goals, and event details. Based on this, we create a custom menu and event plan tailored to your needs. We’ll discuss your budget and priorities, then present a detailed proposal for your review. After making any adjustments, we finalize the plan and provide a clear invoice that includes all your selected options. Our process is designed to be straightforward and collaborative, ensuring your event is exactly what you envision.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

Our CEO and team are lifelong industry professionals with extensive experience in hospitality, catering, and event planning. From culinary arts to event coordination, our expertise comes from decades of hands-on work and a deep passion for creating exceptional experiences.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

We got our start working in fine dining Italian restaurants and catering, building expertise in high-quality food and exceptional service.

What types of customers have you worked with?

We’ve worked with a diverse range of customers, including event planners, individuals hosting private events, Fortune 500 companies, and everything in between.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

We recently worked with a couple to create a customized menu for their wedding reception. They wanted a mix of casual and elegant options, featuring items like gourmet crepes and premium steak sliders. The process included consultations to understand their vision, multiple menu tastings, and on-site coordination to ensure everything ran smoothly. The planning spanned about three months, while the event day involved several hours of setup, preparation, and seamless service. The couple and their guests loved the unique menu and flawless execution, making it a truly memorable experience.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

When comparing bids, make sure you're evaluating them on an apples-to-apples basis. Vendors may include or exclude certain charges differently, so a lower bid might not cover all the services or details you need. Be sure to review each proposal carefully to ensure it aligns with your expectations and includes everything you want for your event.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Consider your priorities in relation to your budget. Be prepared to decide what matters most if adjustments are needed—for example, whether service staff or food quality are your highest priority. Keep in mind that the combination of staffing, premium menu choices, and rentals can add up quickly, so having a clear sense of your must-haves will help guide the planning process.
