Total food & beverage minimum is $1,000.00 per event. Be committed to hire and the date you've chosen. Be respectful of my time and I'll be respectful of yours.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I love getting to know my clients with some initial consultations to better understand their needs. I take it upon myself to help them develop their desires into executable plans with my twist. I write a customized menu for all clients. There are no cookie cutter menus like all the chefs here on Thumbtack as I've been told by all my clients. Yours will be a customized experience to exceed your expectations and allow your guests of honor be the star of the showand food and service but excellent supporting actors of your gathering. !
