FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Plated dinners start at $225 per person, family-style at $200, with a $2,000 minimum for private events. For weekend getaways or longer stays, residencies run $1,200–$1,500 per day and include all your meals, grocery shopping, and full kitchen management. Bigger events like clambakes or pig roasts are custom quoted based on what you're envisioning. I ask for 50% upfront to secure your date, and you pay the balance once everything's wrapped up and the kitchen's spotless.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We start with a quick conversation—your date, guest count, the vibe you're going for, any dietary needs. From there I build a custom menu around your tastes and the season. Once you approve it, I handle everything: sourcing ingredients, cooking, serving, and cleanup. You just show up to your own party and enjoy it.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
