What is the difference between full service and drop-off service?

A: Full Service Catering includes a full decor for the buffet table, including metal chafing dishes, ceramic platters, glassware, flatware, cloth napkins and ceramic plates.

Drop Off Service includes disposable plates, cups, napkins and silverware. The food will be delivered in disposable pans and if there are hot items, there will be disposable wire racks to keep the food hot while it is being served.

Do you travel to provide service?

A: Yes, we will travel to provide catering services for an additional cost.

Am I able to provide people to serve on the buffet or do I have to use the company servers.

A: No. We assign serving professionals to your party based on the type of service and the number of guests being served who provide top notch customer service and quality for your event.

Do you provide decor/linens for the tables at my event?

A: We currently do not offer decor services, however we do coordinate with the event decorator to ensure that the buffet table's decor (which we do provide) matches the decor pattern of the event.

Is there a cancellation policy or fee?

A: Yes, if the event is cancelled more than two weeks before the scheduled event, there is no charge, but in the event that less than two weeks notice is given, 50% of the total bill will be charged to the client.

Is there a fee if the venue changes last minute?

A: If the venue is within a 20 mile radius of the previous venue, there is no fee.

Do you require a Deposit?

A: A deposit of $150 is required to secure the date on our calendar. The remaining balance is due one week prior to the event date.

Can I provide my own utensils?

A: No, we all tools necessary for service.
