Good questions

Asked before booking.

What does catering cost?

It depends on your menu, guest count, and service style, so we quote each event honestly instead of hiding a number. Your quote spells out everything: food, staff, setup, and cleanup. No surprise fees on the invoice.

Do you serve full dinners?

Small bites are what we do best: passed hors d'oeuvres, grazing tables, and appetizer stations. Done as heavy hors d'oeuvres, heavy appetizers if you like, they feed a crowd as fully as any plated dinner, and your guests get to mingle while they eat.

How many bites per person?

For a cocktail hour before a meal, plan on 6 to 8 pieces per guest. When the bites are the meal, plan on 12 to 15 pieces per guest across the evening. We size every order to your event, so trays stay full to the last guest.

Is it horderves, hor d'oeuvres, or hors d'oeuvres?

Hors d'oeuvres, but nobody here is grading spelling. However you type it, we make it, we pass it hot, and your guests will ask who catered.

Can we taste the food before signing anything?

Yes. Tastings come before contracts, every time. You should never book food you haven't tried.

Can you handle dietary needs?

Yes. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and allergies. We confirm every dietary request in writing and label everything on the table.

How far do you travel?

We're based in Columbia and serve the whole Midlands: Lexington, Irmo, Chapin, Blythewood, Elgin, Camden, Lake Murray, and out to Fort Jackson. Farther? Ask. We love a road trip.

Do you cater small events?

Yes. Dinner parties, office lunches, housewarmings, and backyard birthdays matter as much as ballrooms. No guest count is too small to feed well.

How fast will you actually reply?

Same day. Usually within a few hours. If you're reading this after midnight, you'll hear from us in the morning.
