GENERAL INFORMATION
At Gourmet Craft & Catering we do not post menus online; our menus are custom created for each event and are tailored to each client’s preference and budget. Additionally, our custom created menu items incorporate seasonality, sustainability, and current food trends and allow our clients unique FOOD ALLERGIES & RESTRICTIONS to be fully incorporated in the menu. Therefore, food tastings for weddings are recommended.
14 days before the event date as food is ordered in advance. While we do include a buffer, large changes to final guest counts cannot be guaranteed.
There are no minimum order sizes, however transportation costs are incorporated into our final costs. Delivery charges for smaller quantities can be quite expensive however many different types of delivery options to choose from and will work with clients individually to accommodate their needs.
No. Rental and staff costs differ based on guest count and style of food service; charges are reflected separately for what is required for each individual event. Once a menu is finalized, we create a rental and staffing list and will work with you directly. We send this list to a preferred rental company and staffing agency to get an estimate, which is then relayed to you.
All events are subject to additional fee to cover the expenses of transportation.
Tips are not included in your quote; tips are fully discretionary to the client. If the client would like to distribute additional tips post-event, they should contact our sales representative.
