A. How much time it takes to plan & prepare for each party/event. Most clients think everything is done in one day, which is VERY untrue. There's weeks & months of planning that goes into each event.
Our work starts when the client contacts us for a quote. We create & price EACH menu according to each clients likes, theme, number of people attending the party, Service style-plated, buffet, family style, budget, location/weather (is the event inside or outside? will it be summer, or winter? which changes what foods are available), Do you want alcohol/beverages? how much staff is needed? etc.
Then if the party is booked we have to meet the client, see the venue, perhaps do a tasting (so you can see & taste our Divine food), order rental intems (such as tables, linens & silverware), hire staff, shop for food, prepare the food, and the list goes on & on.
Catering someone's special event is serious & we always want it to go as smooth as possible.
