Event Catering FAQ

Here are some of the most common questions we get about event catering in Miami:

How much does professional event catering generally go for in Miami?

Event catering costs range significantly based on the size of your event, the type of food and drink service you choose, and how long the event runs. As a rough benchmark, professional event catering in Miami starts at a per-guest cost that reflects the quality culinary execution and hospitality. Our team offers transparent, itemized quotes following your discovery call.

What's the difference between station-style and formal seated event catering?

Interactive food station models offer people the ability to select their own portions and graze throughout the evening — great for large groups. Multi-course plated formats, by contrast, delivers a more refined dining experience where each guest is brought to the table. Each format have distinct advantages depending on the tone you're setting.

How far in advance should I book event catering services?

For most events, we suggest booking your event catering at least 6–8 weeks in advance. For peak-season gatherings — most notably around Miami's busy event season — reserving your spot even earlier gives us time to fully prepare. Securing your date sooner also allow our chefs more time to personalize your menu and bar program.

Can your culinary crew accommodate dietary restrictions for guests?

Yes, without question. Our culinary team is well-practiced in handling all kinds of food allergies — such as nut-free, low-sodium, and plant-based requests. During the planning process, we gather a full list of restrictions to guarantee every guest can enjoy the meal fully.

Do you provide cocktail equipment and service tools with your event catering packages?

Absolutely — the complete event catering offerings include everything needed for bar service as part of the overall offering.
