CUSTOM EVENT PACKAGES
We pride ourselves on getting to know our clients and planning an event that truly reflects you personally. We accomplish this by listening to our clients and pulling together a team of vendors — including other caterers — that matches our client’s style, budget and personality. All our event proposals are completely custom and prepared to fit your unique needs. After spending time getting to know you one-on-one, and gaining an understanding of your vision and your inspirations, we gauge the level of support and services you may require, then put together a proposal that meets those needs. Whether you need Month of Coordination, or Full Service Event Planning, we offer an a la carte suite of services that will be custom selected for you.
This package includes everything you need to get started including:
A customized to-do list (with dates) from now until your event
A comprehensive budget worksheet
A list of ceremony and Event reception venue recommendations based on your budget, style and guest list
A list of preferred vendor recommendations based on venue, budget, style and your personality.
MONTH OF COORDINATION
Our comprehensive Month of Coordination package includes up to 10 hours on the day of your event, and many hours of planning prior to your Event. We know the nuances specific to your Event can be stressful in the lead up to your big day, so this package allows you to go into your Event knowing everything is taken care of, so you can focus on getting married. Our typical Month of Coordination package includes the following:
Meet with you prior to your event to get to know you and get a sense of who you are as individuals, and as a couple (in the case f weddings). We like to develop close relationships with our clients no matter what package you select with us.
We work with you and your vision for your day to develop a comprehensive day-of schedule including the Event party, and each vendor.
Contact and communicate with your vendors to develop a schedule that runs smoothly and works for everyone.
