Yes, we offer complimentary tastings for wedding bookings and other large events. For smaller gatherings, we can arrange a tasting by appointment at our location for a nominal fee, which is credited toward your final bill if you proceed with the booking. Tastings allow you to experience our cuisine firsthand and make informed decisions about your menu.

Our catering packages can be customized to include food preparation, service staff, tables and linens, dinnerware, glassware, and cleanup. We also offer coordination services to help with timeline management and event flow. During our consultation, we'll outline exactly what's included in your chosen package and discuss any additional services you may need.

Yes, post-event cleanup is included in our full-service catering packages. Our team will clear dishes, clean the kitchen area used for preparation, and remove all trash. We leave the venue as clean as we found it, allowing you to focus on enjoying your event rather than worrying about the aftermath. Please note that extensive venue cleaning beyond our service area may incur additional charges.
