Full service catering includes food, service, and sometimes rentals. We can also arrange for additional details for your event.

$1,000 food minimum for full-service event catering.

The initial bid is an estimate only. If you are interested in moving forward, we would be happy to schedule a visit and fine tune your proposal. Rentals and service staff might require adjustment in order to efficiently cater your event to the standards of Crème de al Crème.

Pricing of your menu will be based on several factors including:
•Time of year/day of week/busy-ness of day
•Type of event (i.e. buffet, sit down, cocktail)
•Guest count - smaller volume tends to have higher per person cost than larger volume events.
•Prior event relationships.
