Ranging from but not limited to professionals, growing families, and those who eat healthy. We offer exquisite services like private dining experiences, event catering, romantic dinners designed for two, and chef experiences across the country.

 

What is the pricing structure?

Pricing is based on the number of guests, menu selections, traveling fees, and if any other additional services are needed. I offer various sample and personalized menus to accommodate different budgets and preferences. The menus are crafted to fit each clients' needs. 

 

How can I book your services for a private event or party?

The first step in the booking process is to submit an inquiry, being sure to detail your desired service. Following the inquiry submission, you will receive an email with further instructions. Including to note if your desired is available and the next steps. 

 

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions or preferences?

Absolutely! We can accommodate a large range of dietary restrictions, allergies, and/or any preferences. Just be sure to let us know your specific needs and the menu will be crafted around those needs.

 

How soon should I book your services?

We suggest booking your reservation at least 30 days ahead of time to secure your desired date. Something to keep note of is that we require a minimum of 5 days notice.

 

Are you able to accommodate last-minute requests or changes to the menu?

We do require a 20% deposit upfront to secure your reservation. To curate a revelational dining experience full payment is due before the event, the day of (prior to) the event at the latest. With that said we can accommodate any changes or requests to the menu prior to the client making the final payment. Although, the menu is typically finalized at least 2 days prior to the event.

 

Do you provide all the necessary equipment and utensils for catering events?

Here at Exquisite Flavorings LLC, an onsite kitchen is required to prepare the meal, this also includes plateware, silverware and glassware for serving the meal. These items can be provided for additional fee, if needed. Once the client submits an inquiry, we will reach out regarding the setup/layout of the kitchen. Also discussing if any additional cooking equipment is needed. But we do provide cleaning supplies as you can always expect us to leave the kitchen the way we found it, clean!

 

What's the largest group that you can accommodate?

We can typically accommodate most group sizes, but we do ask that if you have an exceptionally large number of guests that you submit an inquiry at 60 days in advance. 

 

Are you able to travel for dinners or events?

We love to travel! We typically travel across the country for additional travel fees including airfare, lodging, and transportation accommodations. But if you inquire, we may be able to travel outside of the country! 

 

What is your cancellation policy for personal chef and catering services?

We understand that things happen, and we try to be as flexible as possible! However, a notice period is required for all cancellations. If you need to cancel your booking, please provide at least 30 days’ notice to receive a 25% refund. For cancellations made after 30 days' notice, a cancellation fee of 50% of the total cost of the booked services will be charged. If a cancellation is made within 14 days of the event, no refund can be provided and the bill is expected to be paid in full. This policy is in place to cover the cost of groceries and ingredients purchased in advance, the time reserved for your event, and labor designated for your event. If you're not able to provide a suitable notice due to circumstances, please be sure to contact the chef.
