Help / FAQ

How far in advance should should I request a booking?
During peak seasons (summer and winter months), it is best to book at least 1 month in advance. For long weekends, we recommend booking even earlier. We try to accommodate last minute requests the best we can, but these requests are subject to our booking availability. Once we have received your initial deposit of 25% (this base rate changes based on event size), we will book the day off.

Do you offer any other services?
We do offer contracted services outside of the core business model. Contact us to discuss booking a private cooking class, menu development, food styling, and other general industry inquiries.  We also provide all the necessary staff and rentals for your event.
