What Is Your Booking Process?We want to be sure we understand your specific wants, needs, and wishes. In order to be sure that we do this, we have devised a process that allows us to get to know you, while you get to know us! Step 1) Initial Client Phone Call In this 10-15 minute phone conversation, we will quickly address the concrete details of your event. This is our way of quickly getting on the same page about your wants, needs, and over all vision. Step 2) Our Private, Complimentary Tasting Join the Chefs and your Coordinator for a private, complimentary tasting of the food you want to taste! Most tastings are completed on Sundays and Mondays and last about an hour to an hour and a half. If those days or more time is needed, it is not a problem, we want your experience to be comfortable and at your pace! Step 3) Deposits & Contracts We commit so you can relax. Once this step is done, your date, and our team are aligned and committed. From here we will be in touch periodically. Should you need us, we do our best to be in touch via email or phone within a 24 hour period of time. Step 4) Final Client Phone Call Seven to ten days before your event, we will plan another 10-15 minute phone conversation, this is when we will finalize all of your timelines, guest count, menu changes, and any other pertinent details to make your event flawless. We will even accompany you on your final venue walk through if desired! Step 5) Execution The day where all the planning commences and the delicious food is served!

How Exactly Does Alcohol On Consignment Work?It's pretty simple, we provide a quote for your alcohol. This quote is built based on the information you provide us about your guests and your budget. We also will include extras based on our experience and our conversations. We also do not want to find ourselves running out to the closest liquor store and paying a higher rate! At the end of the event we count up all the un-opened bottles, and cases, you enjoy the opened cases and bottles at the after party, and only pay for those ones! We will return all the rest and take care of all the schlepping!
