What is the average menu price range?
Our menus generally run in the 7-25 dollar per person range. The menu price is determined by the items selected for your menu. The price per person is for food only. There may be charges for wait staff, rentals, decorations, set up fees and state sales tax. Any such charges are itemized separately for your review. We suggest that you take a look at our reception packages for the most cost efficient way to view pricing.

Is an hors d'oeuvre reception a less expensive alternative to a full meal?
If the reception is early to mid afternoon or later in the evening, a light hors d'oeuvre buffet is fine. The closer the time is to the dinner hour, the heavier the hors d'oeuvre service should be because your guests will be expecting a more substantial meal since mealtime is near. An hors d'oeuvre buffet that is offered close to a mealtime will require more food and ultimately be more expensive than a buffet meal.

Can I see or taste the foods I am thinking about?
We hold tastings on a quarterly basis. Group tastings allow us to serve a large variety of hors d'oeuvres, main entrees and chef manned stations to our invited guests. Group tastings give our attendees the advantage of being able to view our buffets, taste our food and meet our staff in a relaxed setting.

Do I need to contact a rental company for tables, chairs, linens, plates and silverware?
The choice is yours but we are capable of providing all rental items for you. As a service to our clients, we often handle the rental details. We can help you determine what you need, when to have it delivered and where to have everything set up. We stock a large variety of party rentals at our own facility which allows us to set up your party in a timely and organized fashion, with minimal costs.

Who will help me plan the event and oversee my party on the day of the event?  
Your event coordinator will work directly with you from menu concept to completion. Your event coordinator and a party captain will be on site to insure every detail of your event runs smoothly. Exceptions would apply in cases of "delivery only" events.

Can Catered For You provide a complete staff?  What will the staff wear?
Catered For You can provide wait staff, culinaires, carvers, and certified bartenders for your function. For formal events, our service staff team will be in traditional white tuxedo shirt, black slacks and a black bow tie. Culinary personnel will be dressed in chef coats, chef hats and black slacks.

Can Catered For You provide references and photos of past work?
We have an extensive list of client references that are available for your review at the time of your consultation. A partial listing of our photos are published on this web site. Additional buffet designs as well as various rooms and halls are also available.

Can Catered For You provide the alcohol for my party?
We give our clients the option of providing their own alcohol or using our complete service for bar service. Our complete service can supply you everything you will need for your bar. We can also provide TABC certified servers to setup your bar and serve.

Is Catered For You insured?
Yes! We carry a two million dollar liability insurance policy, which can give you great peace of mind. We can provide you with a copy upon request.

Does Catered For You have a kitchen that is inspected?
Yes. We operate a commercial kitchen that is inspected regularly by the health department. Catered For You also operates with a separate catering license that insures the proper transporting of food items.

Will Catered For You do things like setting out centerpieces & favors?
Catered For You reserves the right to charge additional set up fees for any additional services that we would provide. We need to cover our labor costs, only. If you need additional set up that is not detailed in your proposal, please ask your Event Coordinator for additional information.

Does Catered For You make wedding cakes?
At this time, we do not provide wedding cakes. We feel that properly preparing and presenting a wedding cake requires a single focus. We keep our focus on the food, service and overall presentation. We work with several reputable bakeries and will gladly refer you to one.

How do I go about booking an event?  What is the deposit and payment schedule?
At the time your function is booked we require a deposit of $1200.00. This deposit is non refundable and once we receive your deposit, your event will be considered confirmed. An additional 50% of the invoice total is due sixty days prior to the event date. The balance of the invoice is due two weeks prior to the event date and the final count is confirmed at that time.
