Q: What is a duet plate and why is it better than a single entrée served?

This is our most popular option for those couples choosing a served menu. The duet plate consists of two entrees and two side dishes selected by you at your tasting, which eliminates the need for your guests to list a preference on their RSVP. We discourage single entrée selections because guest preferences can change at time of dinner service and because our menus are catered, we are unable to switch selected entrees causing some guests to be disappointed.

Q: Does your Caterer allow for food allergies?

Yes, please let us know when we schedule your menu tasting and be sure to inform your Wedding Planner. Finally, when turning in your guest count let us know how many specialty meals are needed and what table they will be seated at.

Q: When is my menu tasting?

When you receive your welcome letter, it will include a tasting link with all the details needed to book your tasting date. For the Meadow Romance Package, which includes a private tasting, the calendar will display available dates up to 60 days in advance. If you do not see an immediate opening, more dates may become available as you check.

Q: Why is my operations fee and other services incurring a sales tax?

The State of California requires tax on all sold items regardless or product or service.

Q: Are children and adults priced differently?

Children under 12 will be charged $30, up to 10 children, then all additional children over 12 will be charged adult pricing.

Q: How do I make a payment? What are my payment options?

Q: I am thinking about putting an earlier start time on my invitations. Is this a good idea?

No, don’t do it! This causes havoc when guests arrive too early as staff is not set up for them and our parking lot does not open until one hour prior to ceremony. Guests are never happy when they are asked to wait when entering the premises. Also, if you are wanting First Look photographs, you need the quiet time to make this happen.
