* GENERAL FAQ *
What type of events do you cater?
All, any, and every type! We have experience with upscale events for hundreds of guests, intimate dinner parties for 12, or a business lunch for 60. Our talented staff can help you with any and all needs.
I have a last minute order, can you help me?
While we prefer all orders be placed at least 48 hours in advance in order to make sure ingredients, staffing, and delivery are available, we will do our best to accommodate you. We understand every last minute order and situation is different. Please call us ASAP and give us as many details as possible. We will check the schedule and work with the kitchen staff to see how we can help you.
What is the service fee?
The Service Fee is an industry standard that addresses the fluctuating costs of our products - the cost of fuel, environmental factors, and the market in general all play a part. Instead of frequently adjusting our menu prices to reflect these changes, we apply a service charge.
* FOOD & MENU FAQ *
I have special dietary needs, can I order a custom menu?
We are happy to work with you to accommodate any special dietary needs. Gluten-free, vegan, lactose-free - just let us know. Our chefs love a challenge!
Can I provide a family recipe to be used at my events?
Of course! We know sometimes you want to serve a very personal menu that will include a family recipe, especially for weddings. We are happy to do our best to make that happen.

No & yes! Tasteful Gatherings does not have a liquor license but has an ABC Certification to serve alcohol at your event. Sometimes special circumstances require special permits. Speak with your event planner if you have any questions.
