How far in advance should I book? As early as possible to secure your preferred date—especially during peak seasons (Spring & Summer) and during holiday times!
What is your pricing structure? Package pricing is listed on our menu page. À la carte pricing varies based on seasonal ingredient costs, supplier rates, and labor intensity. This allows us to remain fair and flexible while crafting food that fits your vision. We will provide you with an invoice on the selections & services requested - when you pay the deposit, you are then scheduled on our calendar.
Do you require a deposit? Yes. A 50% deposit is due upon booking, with the balance due 3 business days prior to your event. Any date remains tentative on our tentative colander until your deposit is received.
What forms of payment do you accept? Our preferred payment is Zelle, or credit card (via a secure "Square" link) that we email you so you can input your own credit card information, or we can take the information over the phone. Cash is also accepted but not preferred. We're sorry, but we no longer accept any checks.
How do I pay using Zelle? Send payment to 732-670-4969 (a Wells Fargo account). No account number is required—just ensure your bank supports Zelle before attempting to send payment.

Can I customize the menu for my event? Yes! We are also happy to suggest dishes based on guest count, dietary needs, and preferences.
Do you offer tastings before booking? Not currently. As a boutique caterer mainly focused on small to mid-sized events, we prioritize production over tastings. However, our client reviews on Google and Yelp speak to the quality of what we deliver.
Do you provide tableware, linens, or décor? We provide disposable plates, utensils, cups and napkins. No China, linens, actual silverware and glassware is available at this time, though updates may be coming in the future.
