Planning Your Event
Sufficient time to plan is critical to the success of an event. Events that require catering services need a minimum 10-day advance notice. At that time, we will ask you to estimate the number of guests attending your event. A guaranteed number is required 72 hours prior to your event. You will be billed at the guaranteed number that you provided, should you go over the guaranteed number, then you will be billed at that new number. (Weekend events need a guaranteed number by noon on Wednesday).
Any event cancelled with less than 48 hours prior notice will be billed at 50% of the retail cost of your catering order.
