Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before your evening begins.
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. Pricing is based on guest count, number of courses, and event type. I’ll give you a clear number after our initial conversation.
