Building the menu

Executive Chef Jill Freiberg leads the kitchen and is described as having more than 30 years of experience. The company says it will develop new recipes from scratch for you.

When you hire a caterer, ask for a tasting, a written proposal and a list of what is included, such as staff, rentals and cleanup. Share dietary needs early and ask how the kitchen handles allergies. Check whether your venue has a kitchen or needs a catering setup. Ask about service style, whether plated, family style or stations, and how the team manages timing with your planner and bar. Confirm final counts and the date for menu decisions.
