FAQs - Catering in Newport Beach
How far in advance should catering be booked?
Peak dates and weekends fill quickly, especially during wedding season. We recommend securing your date once your venue is confirmed. Short-notice events may still be accommodated depending on availability.
Do you offer menu tastings?
Yes. Menu tastings may be scheduled for qualifying events so you can review flavors, presentation, and selections in advance.
Can you help us estimate quantities for food and beverages?
Absolutely. We guide you on portion planning, bar volume, and guest flow so service feels generous without unnecessary overspend.
What happens if the guest count changes before the event?
Guest numbers can typically be adjusted within a defined timeframe prior to the event. We outline cut-off dates and pricing implications clearly during planning.
Do you coordinate with rental vendors or outside suppliers?
Yes, we work directly with rental companies, planners, and other vendors to align tables, linens, kitchen equipment, and service logistics so everything functions cohesively onsite.
