A Few Facts
We are a boutique catering firm specializing in smaller parties. By "smaller" larger parties we mean:
- For heavy hors d'oeuvres, basically a meal for your guests, we top out at 60.
- For light hors d'oeuvres, making sure your guests have something to nosh and do while chatting, we top out at 75.
- For tray passed appetizers and a buffet meal, we top out at 75.
We have been known to break these rules. Our catering team is quite capable!

- Share as much or as little as you like. The more you tell, the easier it is as we move forward.
Your Chef Contacts You
- Once you’ve requested a reservation, our private chef will reach out, most likely within 48 hours. Usually, sooner.
- We'll confirm your date and details and delve a little deeper. That should take about 15 or 20 minutes.
- Once we're clear we'll get to work creating something imaginative and highly unique just for you and your guests.
- Before you complete your call our team will let you know when you can expect to hear from them again.
NOTE: If you're looking for something extremely unique and truly special go to Chef Devin's Private Dining Experience and prepare to be even more WOW'd.
Pick Your Favorites!
- Next, you'll get an email with a delectable selection of ideas curated just for you!
- It will show the cost of each item and all pricing involved in your experience.
- Chef Devin will also suggest a time to meet again, share your ideas, and make the menu truly yours.
- Remember, we offer bartending service, a delectable selection of seasonal punches, and all the team needed to execute your event.
- AND! You don't have to wait. If you'd like share your ideas in a text, an email, phone call, or, if you want to make any requests that haven't been offered, reach out. We've even had people print their menu options, circle their choices and take a pic.
- Once we have agreed on your special menu, you'll get a completed quote with a breakdown of each service and it's related expense.
- We request a 50% deposit roughly two weeks prior to your event. For larger events it's closer to three.
Get Ready for Your Event
Now just get ready for your event!
- Roughly 10 days prior to your event we ask for a confirmation of your guest count so we may adjust purchasing and costs if needed.
- Call the maid.
- It is quite helpful if you've given us a bit of counter space and if dishwasher is empty!
- Pick your outfit!!
Enjoy Your Party!
- Your chef and team will arrive an hour to an hour and a half (predetermined and communicated) before your event.
- All you have to do is relax, and enjoy the day or evening with your guests.
- If you like interacting, watching, or asking question, great!
- If you want to pretend we're not here and that food has magically arrived, great!
- This is your gathering.
- And, we cleanup too!
Supplemental Details
