FIRST AND FOREMOST:
If you are considering our unique set of inclusive options for food, service, planning, coordinating, and decor for your celebration, DO NOT WAIT. We typically book weddings anywhere from 9 months to 24 months at CURRENT PRICING.
We host no more than two events a week and do not do more than one event a day.
DATES ARE LIMITED!
1) What about tasting your cuisine?
Booked clients are invited to attend our Client Only Group Tastings held every two or three months. Each one has a theme and offers a wide variety of appetizers, entrees, side dishes, and specialty items prepared and served for 60 or more people in attendance.
Since we do not have to know your menu style or selected menu items until two weeks prior to your event, you have plenty of time to make decisions.
Most caterers do not offer free tastings prior to booking. We used to until recently when the demands of our booked clients required more of our attention. Also, almost every weekend is booked with weddings.
2) What is the best way to measure the success of your services?
The best way is to read the honest, heartfelt reviews on The Knot. These are from real clients and not "planted" by paid influencers.
In 2025 we had a record number of reviews which now makes us the top reviewed wedding caterer in the immediate Tampa Bay Area.
3) How do I secure your services?
By paying the $1895 downpayment, which comes off the final balance due two weeks prior to the event, we lock in your date and all current pricing in a contract. We begin working for you the minute you book with comprehensive planning and advice.
4) Do you take credit cards?
Yes. There is no processing charge for the initial downpayment. The final balance and other subsequent payments via credit card will be subject to a 3.5% processing charge. Payments can also be made via Zelle.
5) What sets your catering business apart from others in the Tampa Bay Area?
Well informed clients tell us that we have the most comprehensive event package they have found locally for an elegant, first class celebration.
They said they appreciate that we can quote exact pricing with no surprise charges at the end. Our approach is consistency and transparency.
Also, we have a dedicated service and culinary staff who have other professional jobs or college classes during the week.
Lastly, we are involved in your planning every step of the way, even if you decide to hire a separate day of coordinator. During your planning time, we schedule a Design Meeting at our studio where we put together a sample guest table look, go over all details you have so far for the wedding, create an event diagram, and establish a general timeline.
6) You claim your food is of high quality.
What exactly does that mean?
Chef Robert maintains certain standards when it comes to freshness and presentation. One difference is that even though much of the food comes hot and pre-cooked, sauces and chicken or sauces and pasta
are not put together until right before serving.
The same standard applies to vegetables. When a stove is not available on site, we bring a portable burner to steam them just prior to being put on the plate or on the buffet line.
There are some menu items we will only do as a live station or unless there is a full kitchen available.
We also purchase locally and have done so long BEFORE the Farm-To-Table trend.
7) When do I need to make a firm decision on the number of guests and menu choices? And what if I want to further customize our menu?
We do not need to know those things until two weeks prior to your event when the final balance is due. In the meantime, we are more than willing to create a custom menu based on your ideas.
8) Why do you turn down weddings at certain venues?
Catering is one of the largest portions of your wedding budget. In order to assure quality in your food, we require that a venue has a proper enclosed prep area with running water. A full kitchen is not required.
9) What about additional rental items or decorating options?
We work with a variety of other vendors and can pass on any vendor discounts directly to if you allow us to get a quote for you.
10) If I furnish favors and other guest table elements, will your staff place these for me?
Yes, as long as the items are fully constructed and need no intense arrangement. We will be happy to also add fresh or silk florals (in a basic fashion) to our in-house containers or loosely in the centers of guest tables.
