Table Top Catering – FAQ
Event & Bookings
We cater weddings, corporate events, social gatherings, galas, private dinners, holiday parties, and large-scale productions. If you’re planning a unique or non-traditional event, our team is happy to customize our services to meet your specific needs.
Peak dates (October through March) book quickly. We recommend securing your event date at least 3–6 months in advance, though shorter timelines may be accommodated based on availability and event type.
A signed contract and a 50% deposit are required to officially secure your event date on our calendar. If you are booking through a venue where payments are made to the venue, a direct deposit to us may not be required.
Our minimum guest count is 20 guests. For events with fewer than 20 guests, a minimum event spend of $1,200 is required. Please contact us for the most up-to-date details.
Guest counts may increase or decrease during the planning process up to 14 days prior to your event. The final guest count is due two weeks before the event date. Increases may be accommodated after this deadline with notice; however, reductions cannot be made after the 14-day mark.
We respond to all inquiries within 24–48 hours, provided we have sufficient information to prepare a quote. Once your event details are received, we typically deliver a customized proposal within that same timeframe.
The best way to inquire is through our Contact Us page, where a short questionnaire helps our Sales Team gather the details needed to create an accurate proposal.
Menu & Tastings
Yes! We offer tastings in two separate formats: Complimentary Monthly Couples Group Tastings and Individualized Private Tastings.
Our Complimentary Monthly Couples Group Tastings are typically held on a weeknight beginning at 6:00 pm, and are offered to couples interested in our catering services, whether or not they have already booked. Due to the group nature of these tastings, attendance is limited to the couple only. Each month’s menu is pre-selected and features a sampling of our most popular standard items.
Please contact a Sales Coordinator for details on upcoming complimentary group tasting dates.
Private Tastings are available by appointment with our Sales Team and offer a more personalized experience. Clients may select their tasting menu in advance and enjoy a one-on-one consultation with a Sales Coordinator during the tasting. Private Tastings are offered at a flat-rate fee and can accommodate up to six guests at our tasting table. We recommend scheduling a private tasting once your venue is booked, an estimated guest count is confirmed, and you have received a proposal from our Sales Team. This allows us to best tailor your menu options.
Yes! While we offer a comprehensive catering menu that many clients choose from, we love creating personalized menus to complement your event style, cuisine preferences, and dietary needs.
Absolutely. We are happy to accommodate a wide range of dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, and other special requests. Please let us know during the planning process we can thoughtfully tailor the menu to ensure all guests can enjoy.

SERVICES
Catering packages typically include menu planning, food preparation, setup, service, and breakdown, as well as disposable serviceware or upgraded tableware and dinnerware rentals, if selected. Each proposal clearly outlines what is included, as offerings may vary based on venue requirements and package selection.
We offer multiple tiers of full-service bar packages, including beer/wine service, beer/wine & signature cocktails, full open bar options, and non-alcoholic beverage bars. We also offer clients the option to provide their own alcoholic beverages (beer, wine and liquor bottles) and we can serve what is provided.

Yes. Depending on your event style, we can provide event leads, chefs, servers, and bartenders. For all full-service events, recommended staffing levels are included in your proposal. We also offer catering to-go services, where food is delivered hot, fresh, and ready to serve at your chosen location.
For fully-serviced events, our team arrives approximately 2.5 hours prior to guest arrival to set up all catering-related items. We remain on-site throughout the event to manage service and provide full breakdown following the event’s conclusion.
