Please note that we will be contacting you approximately 72 hours prior to the event to obtain a guaranteed number of guests to prepare for. This will be the final number of guests used to determine the amount of food to prepare and to calculate the menu cost. Should the actual guest count exceed the guaranteed number, then the greater of the two will be used to calculate the cost. We do not over prepare, so an accurate final guarantee number is very important.
