You have questions? We’ve got answers.

How Does it work?

  1. You fill out a form with information on event date, size, location and requested format. We get back to you via email to confirm details and let you know availability and set up a consultation call.

  2. During the consultation, we discuss ideas, menu and any preferences or allergies. Basically, you tell us exactly what you’re looking for. This is where you choose your involvement—we can create the menu together, or we can send you a sample menu and you can make changes from there!

  3. We’ll get back to you within 2 to 3 business days with the proposed menu and estimated pricing. You will let us know if you want to see any changes. Once agreed upon, you will send a deposit and signed retainer to secure the date. Menu changes can be made up until 2 weeks prior to the event.

  4. We show up to your event 2 to 4 hours prior to start time, cook, plate and serve. We will clean everything up before we leave—leaving your kitchen or event space spotless.

  5. The remainder of agreed upon cost will be due at the end of the event. We will provide payment options prior to event.

Is there all-inclusive packages + pricing?

Each and every event is different when it comes to guest count, format, etc. It’s impossible for us to give you a price until we’ve discussed your needs—we specialize in customization, after all!

What all does C&Q supply?

Short answer? The food. We expect you to provide plateware, flatware, decor, tables, linens, etc. unless we’ve discussed otherwise. We’re happy to coordinate rental services on your behalf if needed for an additional fee. We also coordinate additional staff (sous chef, bartenders and servers) if party size and format requires it. For example, a plated dinner will require more service staff. This is all factored into pricing.

Is there a maximum party size?

We specialize in intimate dining experiences, typically up to 30 people for sit-down dinners (plated and family style) and up to 50 people for cocktail party formats. Please contact us if your party size is larger—we will do what we can to accommodate.
