Question 1

What is your service area?

Accepted Answer

To ensure any food items prepared offsite are of the highest quality, we generally limit our service are to within an eighty mile radius of Pensacola.

Question 2

Do you offer tastings?

Accepted Answer

We generally offer tastings as a separate booked private chef's dinner. This includes a full service tasting of menu items at market price of the couple's choosing and can be offered from two to twelve guests. This allows for meeting the lead staff of our team and discussing options all while enjoying a curated meal. We also host pop-up events on a regular basis and invite couples to join us at one free of charge to many of these so that they may get to know the highest quality of food that we serve.

Question 3

Do you have a minimum for weddings?

Accepted Answer

We have helped host events from ten guests to over 200 and pride ourselves on offering the same passionate service regardless of the headcount.

Question 4

How many times do we meet before the wedding?

Accepted Answer

We meet as many times as the couple needs, usually once initially to discuss clarify details of our proposal, then again at the signing of the contract over coffee or lunch to assure the party that we remain available at all times. We do a walk-through of any event space that we are not familiar with and invite any from the wedding party to join us to get to better understand their vision. We are open to in person and Zoom calls as well as planning is already taxing enough.

Question 5

Do you offer help with rentals?

Accepted Answer

We have a collection of China and flatware that can be rented from us as company. We have yet to find a better value in either north Florida or Alabama than what we can provide. We also have access to a floral wholesaler and a designer that can assist in decor for a competitive fee.

Question 6

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Our chef mentors were focused on local sourcing and farm-to-table sustainability which fostered in us an appreciation for individual ingredients. We have designed full menus for Vegan chef's dinners and weddings where gluten, soy, alliums, walnuts and shellfish all had to be omitted. We design our menus so that guests may enjoy everything at the feast and not have to worry about which items to 'steer clear' of. We have a sample menu of our favorite allergen-free dishes that can be sent right away. There are so many beautiful ingredients in the world, to not be ready to utilize them all is folly!

Question 7

Do you offer cake cutting services?

Accepted Answer

We are both in love with and terrified by some of the gorgeous, artistic wedding cakes we have come across in our years. However, we are happy to cut and serve your for small per person fee. We also have offered extra add-ons to compliment or stretch smaller cakes such as chocolate-covered strawberries or honeyed figs if the headcount might exceed the cake size.

Question 8

How far out do you recommend booking your services?

Accepted Answer

We recommend at least 10 months in advance regardless of season as we already have events booked well into the later half of 2026.

Question 9

Do you charge travel fees?

Accepted Answer

We do and anyone who says they don't is just hiding them in their per-person cost. We charge $1.25/mile round trip once outside of a 30 mile radius of Pensacola. For example, a wedding booked in Fairhope, Alabama would only begin to incur this charge after the initial 30 miles were traveled for a round trip of an additional 60 miles (not the door to door 120 miles) as the first 30 miles traveled are considered standard travel distance.
