BOOKING & LOGISTICS

How does the booking process work?

1. Discovery call → goals, guest count, location, and style

2. Custom proposal → menu, staffing, rentals, and pricing

3. Confirmation → agreement + retainer secures your date

4. Planning → logistics, service details, headcount

5. Event day → chef-led execution, white-glove service, full cleanup

How far in advance should I book?

2-4 weeks is ideal for private dinners, 8–12+ weeks for corporate, holiday, or large events. Rush bookings may be possible if our calendar allows. We try to accommodate every request and serve our clients the best we can.

Do you have a minimum?

Minimums vary by event size, date, and service type. We’ll suggest the most cost-effective format for your goals. We welcome a phone conversation no matter wha the event, if we are unable to accommodate, we will refer you to a partner Chef that can.

How do payments and cancellations work?

A 50% deposit secures your date. Final headcount and payment are due before the event. Cancellation windows depend on event size and rentals. We try to be flexible with our clients because we know life happens.

Are gratuities included?

No. Gratuities are optional

MENU & DIETARY NEEDS

Can you accommodate allergies and dietary restrictions?

Yes. We regularly design menus for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, nut-free, and shellfish-free guests. We follow strict cross-contact protocols but cannot guarantee a 100% allergen-free environment.

What does a sample five-course tasting menu look like?

• Course 1: Soup

• Course 2: Salad

• Course 3: Seafood

• Course 4: Steak or Meat

• Course 5: Dessert

Chef’s Note: We avoid repeating the same ingredient across multiple courses to keep your palate fully engaged.
