What’s included in the rental estimate?
The rental estimate includes plates, silverware, napkins, serving dishes and utensils, and catering back of house needs. As the catering coordinator, we will provide an estimate for what we anticipate will be necessary to rent to execute your event. Since no event is the same, we will try to tailor this estimate as much as possible for your specific details in our proposals, but many decisions are made closer to the event. We always work with you and/or your planner to make sure we are matching your vision for your wedding, and we can handle additional wedding rentals as well.
Are there any other fees?
When you look over your proposal, you’ll see everything we anticipate on the pricing overview. We give you a total per person cost that is inclusive of the food costs, our fee, tax, and gratuity. Staffing and rentals are estimated based on the details we have of your event, and are subject to change. There is a standard Catering Management On Site Fee to provide administration and management on the day of the event to cover setting up, receiving and setup of rentals, management of chefs, timeline, and breakdown of event.
