frequently asked

How much does full-service catering cost?

Most full-service events start around $95 per guest, with your quote covering menu design, fresh on-site preparation, professional service staff and coordination. Every event is custom, so request a quote and we'll send transparent pricing within 24 hours.

What areas do you serve?

We cater throughout the Portland metro area and the Willamette Valley — from downtown lofts and the Pearl District to vineyards, private estates and corporate venues.

Can you handle dietary restrictions and allergies?

Absolutely. Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and allergy-conscious menus are all part of what we do — every menu is built around your guests, with no compromise on taste.

How far in advance should we book?

The sooner the better. Popular dates — summer weekends and the December holiday season especially — fill months ahead. Reach out early and we'll always tell you honestly what's available.

Do you provide staff, bar service and rentals?

Yes. We bring hand-selected professional service staff, a full bar with housemade seasonal cocktails, and we coordinate rentals, décor and timeline so everything arrives handled.

Do you offer tastings?

Every event begins with a complimentary, no-obligation menu-design consultation and tasting — because the only surprise on the day should be how good it tastes.
