Do you offer tastings before we book?

We offer options to taste before you book for $500 per couple and $100 per additional guest. Should you decide to move forward with us, that $500 will be credited back to your account. Our tasting calendar availability varies week to week. Please inquire for more information.

Do you provide vendor meals?

Yes, we charge $35 per vendor and coordinate the best time to serve their meal during your event.

What is the recommended tipping policy?

We pay our staff an hourly wage, which means they don't rely on tips. Tipping is at your discretion. If you would like to leave a token of thanks for the staff, we recommend $15–$25 per service staff member.

What do you charge for kids' meals?

Kid's meals for children between the ages of 2 and 10 cost $35. Children under 2 will not be counted in your full meal count, and children over 10 will be charged full price.

When do you need our final headcount?

We require a final guaranteed headcount 3 weeks ahead of your event date. We will be prepared to serve up to 5% over your guest count, in case unexpected guests arrive.

Do you offer furniture and tabletop item rentals?

We fully facilitate the rental process for you. Our services include accompanying you to a rentals showroom visit, advising on what will be needed for your event style, advising on price and helping to stick to a rental budget, altering rental orders as needed, and facilitating the delivery, correct setup, and breakdown of all rental items the day of your event. We are happy to work with any venue-approved rental company as needed.

What does the administrative fee on our estimate cover?

Our admin fee covers all logistical aspects of your event, such as venue walk-throughs, tastings, menu consultations, rental showroom visits and facilitation, advice on floor plans and layouts, on-site coordination with your event planner, insurance, and zero-waste initiatives.
