Every menu is tailored to fit the cultural and dietary needs of our clients. We recycle, reduce, and reuse. We use real plates, glasses, cloth napkins, and utensils as a part of our commitment of ecologically responsible.

Do you have a fee for plates, napkins, and silverware?
No, we think it's odd to charge for just food and not provide the plates and silverware to eat them with. We also provide all the glassware saving you money on having to rent them from a party rental place or supplying them yourself for an additional cost. We have many styles to choose from.

Do you charge a corking fee or cake cutting fee?
We think that these are unnecessary as well.

Are you insured?
We carry a $1,000,000 liability insurance policy for our business, which many venues require. We are all certified with food handlers cards, have restaurant experience in serving, and our class 12 or 13 Washington state liquor handlers cards.

How much does it cost for catering, staffing, and the bar service?
Depending on the menu selections from $14.95 to $29.95 a person
2 bartenders, 4 servers = $1,200 for weddings of 100 – 200
2 bartenders, 5 servers = $1,400 for weddings of 200 – 300
2 bartenders, 6 servers = $1,600 for weddings of 300 - 400

This covers all serving responsibility and clean up. We are at the event for an average of 8 to10 hours, depending on the amount of time for the venue rental.

Gratuity is left to the discretion of our clients for a service well done, customarily $50 a person for staff.

$500 non refundable administrative fee
(Transportation, day of wedding coordinating, and insurance)

and add applicable sales tax.

Email us and we can send you an estimate within 24 hours.

How much does it cost to hold the date?
$500 non refundable / admin fee

Can we have customized plating and table setting for our wedding not in the standard setting?
Yes, we will include custom settings in your colors or theme for an additional $10 - $15 a person. We would create a setting and you would rent it directly from us. We would be responsible for getting it to the venue and back. This will include utensils, glass, plates, and bowls, and napkins.

Do you have references?
Oh yes, please call or email for them, we have had many happy brides and grooms.

Do you have pictures?
Yes, we have a myspace.com site that shows slideshows of some of our many weddings.

Do you do tasting?
Yes, tell us what you want to try, we'll whip it up and deliver.

How many weddings have you done?
A lot, we lost track awhile ago, but we can comfortably say we have served thousands of guests with our favorite wedding venue being Thornewood castle.

Most unique wedding menu?
Renaissance Themed
Scottish and Thai
American and Japanese
Panini and Pot Stickers
