Dane was absolutely incredible! She made my husband's 40th a breeze and took so much stress off my plate. From our first phone call she was so excited to be involved and had a blast curating the food and drinks to match the theme. We got nonstop compliments from everyone on the food and drinks and how lovely the entire event was. Thank you so much for making this a party we will never forget!

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    Pricing is structured around your selected per‑person budget, which covers all materials for the event, including food and any necessary rentals. A 20% chef service fee or flat chef labor fee and a 10% setup and delivery fee are applied based on the scope of the event. Servers and bartenders are billed hourly, with staffing needs determined by the final guest count.

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    My typical process begins with a scheduled call so I can get to know you and talk through the details of your event. After our conversation, I’ll follow up with a tailored proposal for you to review. Once everything looks good, we’ll finalize the contract and secure your date with a deposit.
