Every menu gets customized to your preferences without generic package limitations. Dietary accommodations are handled as standard service, not upcharged extras. You work directly with restaurant professionals who understand both exceptional food service and event coordination.
Our approach eliminates the vendor coordination headaches. One team handles everything from menu planning to final cleanup. Your celebration succeeds because we’ve perfected this process through thousands of events, not because we’re experimenting with your important day.
Yes, dietary accommodations are part of our standard service without additional fees. Our kitchen prepares everything using natural ingredients, making it straightforward to accommodate gluten-free, vegetarian, and other dietary needs properly.
During menu planning, we discuss any restrictions your guests have. Our experienced chefs modify traditional Italian dishes or create alternatives that maintain the same quality and presentation. We handle preparation carefully to prevent cross-contamination issues.
Unlike venues that charge premium rates for dietary needs or offer limited options, we treat special requirements as normal event planning. Your guests with restrictions receive the same attention to quality and presentation as everyone else—no one feels excluded from your celebration.
We recommend booking 4-6 weeks ahead for most celebrations, though we often accommodate shorter timelines based on availability. Popular dates like weekends, holidays, and graduation seasons fill earlier—book 2-3 months ahead for these times.
Earlier booking allows more detailed customization of menu, space configuration, and special requests. Rush bookings are possible, but advance scheduling ensures we can accommodate everything you want without compromises.
Once confirmed, we handle all planning systematically while keeping you informed. This advance coordination ensures your celebration runs smoothly because every detail has been properly planned and confirmed before your event date.
