The short answer? As soon as possible! The long answer is that depending on your event anywhere from 6 months to one year is realistic, simply to address all the steps involved in the process. For corporate catering, we recommend one week, but we do know there are challenges and 72 hours is plenty of time for us to coordinate and deliver boardroom catering. For social catering and cocktail events, we typically like 30 days to allow for meetings, tastings and site visits.

Quite simply, it starts with you, either filling out your event request here or sending a note to Julia if you’d like to talk to someone live immediately.

We will then send you a proposal for review, negotiate the details, have you in for a tasting, get you signed off, then plan away!
