This timeline allows us to properly coordinate your custom menu, confirm staffing, and handle any special requests or dietary accommodations.
For larger events approaching our 55-guest capacity or those requiring extensive menu customization, earlier booking is even better. However, we understand that sometimes special occasions arise with shorter notice, so we’ll always work with you to accommodate your needs when possible.
The key is reaching out as soon as you have your date in mind—even if other details are still being finalized. We can hold your preferred date while you work out the specifics.
