FAQ
COLD CANAPÉS
We’re often asked about our “catering fee.”
This fee covers all the essential behind-the-scenes work involved in planning and executing your event, beyond the food itself. It includes tasks such as:
- Tastings
- Venue walkthroughs
- Planning meetings
- Quote revisions
- Phone consultations
- Insurance certificates
- Coordination with venues and vendors
We never charge extra for these services. The Event Catering Fee allows us to provide this level of care and service without surprise additional costs later. Our goal is to make the planning process seamless and stress-free from start to finish.
GRATUITIES
We take pride in compensating our staff fairly and competitively. While gratuities are never necessary and never expected, they are always appreciated. If you feel our team has gone above and beyond, please feel free to show your appreciation; our team will be grateful!
