Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I book catering in Boston?

For weddings and large events, we recommend booking at least 6 to 12 months in advance, especially for peak seasons (May through October). Corporate events and smaller gatherings can often be accommodated with 4 to 8 weeks of notice. The sooner you reach out, the more flexibility we have to create the perfect menu and experience for your event.

Do you offer tastings before booking?

We cater a wide range of events including weddings, corporate functions, galas, fundraisers, holiday parties, private dinners, birthday celebrations, baby showers, and graduation parties.
