Additional Information

Prices plus 5% GST & 15% Service

Estimating the Number of Guests...

in our experiences, it can be difficult to predict how many persons will attend the

gathering and/or how much they will eat, therefore we will only charge on consumption

so we do not lock you into a price per person or have you "pre-order" a set amount of

food; once the menu has been established, then we will begin with a par food amount,

then replenish only as needed so in the end, you will only be charged for the

consumption

We Provide at No Charge...

ceramic plates, napkins, serving utensils, delivery, setup & removal at the end

Available for Rental...

wine glasses, beer glasses, martini glasses, champagne flutes $6.00 per dozen

tablecloths (white, black, ivory) $3.00 each delivered, setup & removal at the end

Staffing Services... qualified staff persons provided at $20.00 per hour, per person - minimum 3 hours

all details will be taken care of by our staff so you can socialize & enjoy the event

Full Bar Services Available... your choice of a hosted or no-hosted bar; we provide the alcohol,

staff persons, bar service, glassware, ice, all supplies, liquor license,

setup & removal; we will gladly provide a separate quote for our bar services

And More Information...

Bookings ~ we do ask for at least one weeks’ notice prior to your event. However, we

are always willing to accommodate late requests. Sometimes a situation arises that you

need a caterer on short-notice. If that does happen, please get in touch with us...we can

make it work.

Number of Guests ~ we will ask for the approximate head count when the event is

booked. An update on the count to be sent one week prior to the event and a final count

48 hours prior to the event. Now, we of course realize that things happen at the last

minute and people are unable to attend for a variety of reasons. Please know that we can

make changes to the count, increases or decreases at the last minute.

Food Service ~ we will provide all food for your event. We ask that you do not bring in

your own food for the event. Even though Aunt Bessie makes a wonderful pasta, the local

heath regulations do state that all food served at events must be provided by the hired

caterer. However, the health department does make exceptions for outside cakes, so you

may bring in your own cake. We will provide the plates and forks for the cake. We are

also one of the very few catering companies that do not charge a cake cutting fee.

Staffing ~ all of our staff persons are professional, well-groomed and will attend to every

detail of the event. We do not book more than one event at the same time. By doing so,

we can give the event our full attention and care.

Deliveries ~ there is no charge for deliveries. We will set a time, at your convenience, to

return and pick up the supplies on the same day.

Payment ~ we do ask for a 30% deposit upon confirmation of booking, then 30% one

week prior to the event, then final balance due at the end of the event. We accept cash,

cheques, debit cards, Visa, Mastercard & American Express.

Flexibility ~ one of the most frequent comments we hear is about our flexibility. We

believe that changes do happen and situations evolve, at times during the actual event.

We will do our absolute best to accommodate any changes.

References ~ we will gladly provide references upon request.
