FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before reaching out.
How far in advance should I book? +
For private dinners and smaller gatherings, 2–3 weeks is usually enough. For larger events, weddings, and holiday dates, 4–6 weeks is ideal. Popular dates fill up fast — the sooner the better.
Do you travel outside Philadelphia? +
Yes. I serve Philadelphia and the surrounding region, including the Main Line, South Jersey, and Delaware. For events farther out, reach out and we'll figure it out.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions? +
Absolutely. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, allergen-specific — all handled during our menu consultation. Just let us know what we're working with.
What does the inquiry process look like? +
Fill out the inquiry form with your event details. I'll follow up within 24 hours to discuss your vision, guest count, and preferences. From there we'll build a custom menu and confirm your date.
Do you provide service staff? +
For larger events, yes. For intimate dinners, I typically handle service myself — which keeps the evening feeling personal rather than like a production.
What's included in the price? +
Custom menu design, all ingredients, prep, cooking, plating, service, and cleanup. What you pay for is the full experience — not a line-item list.
Do you bring your own equipment? +
Yes. I bring everything needed to cook and serve in your space. A standard home kitchen is all we need for most events.
How do I get a quote? +
Use the inquiry form or reach out directly. Pricing is based on guest count, number of courses, and event type. I'll give you a clear number after our initial conversation.
