Catering Menu

We know it can seem overwhelming to plan a special event. Below are a few items to keep in mind so that your special day is one that you enjoy fully. We’re here to keep the worry away.

The Style: Is this a formal event or more casual? Determining the style of your event will determine whether or not you need to use china for service, or if high-impact black glossy disposable plates and serving ware is acceptable. Keep in mind that nondisposable plates, flatware and serving utensils increase the cost of the event.

Maximum Guest Count: It’s better to start off with the maximum number of guests that may attend. This will help determine where the event can be held and if any rental equipment is needed. Keep in mind that most caterers do not keep a large inventory of plates, glasses, etc. It’s better to know at the beginning the potential cost of rentals as opposed to being surprised at the end. Please give a final count as soon as possible.

Your Budget: Start planning with a per guest budget in mind. We have a wide variety of menu items to fit almost any budget, but starting off with a number in mind will assist in creating the perfect menu. Remember there will be tax and labor involved with each proposal. We itemize this on your contract so you can see each charge. Keep in mind that certain items, such as shellfish and steak, always cost more than pasta. Think about how many courses and how many choices you would like your guests to have.
