Q&A

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

We offer up front pricing and packages so there will be no additional, unexpected fees.

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

After the initial contact here on Thumbtack I will email you our current menu of all our services. Once we have menu selections I will draft a proposal/ estimate for your approval. A deposit is required to save the date! But we can still fine tune the details all the way up to a few days before the event when the balance is paid.

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

I have done everything in the kitchen from washing dishes to expediting busy restaurants and creating recipes. Worked for world renowned catering company serving events like the Oscars and more.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I transitioned into private chef work during the pandemic and my business took on a life of its own growing bigger as our world was opening back up. I found myself immersed and loving what I was doing more than I ever had before!

What types of customers have you worked with?

We have created dinners for everyone from famous Television producers and large companies to smaller groups celebrating their loved ones milestones.

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

I have so much fun curating new flavors and using science to create! We recently had the opportunity to create branded food for The Curology company. We created lavender flavored cotton candy and ice cream floats! Ive also been known to create unusual flavored pop rocks for savory sauces!

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

We work closely with every client to create and curate the perfect event. Make sure your date is set and you’re ready to start planning your event before reaching out.

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

Are you ready to hire someone? Is your date set? We all value each other’s time and money so just be mindful that you are ready to move forward with whatever catering company you choose.
