Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend booking our catering services at least 2-3 months in advance to ensure availability. To guarantee menu and staffing, we ask for finalization of your event two weeks ahead of time. That doesn't mean we won't book with you if you need last minute catering. If we can make it work, we can make it happen for you. 

Price of catering can vary from $15-$200 or more per person for your event. We build in the cost of each menu item, listed in our menu section, rentals of dishware or equipment, staffing, beverage service, and any other additional factors. We recommend you keep a range of price in mind and we will work within your budget to the best of our ability.
