Booking & Ordering FAQs
Planning a wedding or a party involves a lot of moving parts. I want to make the food process as smooth as possible for you.
Below are answers to the most common questions I receive from clients for events in the Central Upper Peninsula area. If you don’t see your answer here, just ask!
When To Book
We recommend booking as soon as you have a date set.
We require a minimum of 4 weeks notice for most events.
Rush orders can incur a rush fee.
Platters, cake stands, and table decor is not included.
Do You Travel Outside Of The UP?
YES! I love to travel! Are you getting married out of state and need a private chef? Reach out! I’d love to work with you! Odds are I have experience cooking what you’d like to serve. Dinner & desserts after your ceremony, done! Brunch & mimosas the morning after? I’m your gal!
*Travel fees will apply.*
Deposit & Payment Methods
We require a $500 retainer & signed contract to hold your date. Your final headcount and balance are due 7 days prior to the event. We also offer flexible payment plans, if this is something you are interested in setting up please let us know!
A set-up fee of $50/hour will be included in your total, anything beyond the agreed upon times can/will be invoiced after the event.
Do you have any recommended vendors for me?
Absolutely! Head over to this page!
What areas do we serve?
I am located in the Upper Peninsula, in the small village of Blaney Park, on a 19 acre property. We provide private chef experiences and baked good services locally around the Manistique area, as well as to Newberry, Escanaba, Marquette, Grand Marais & the Central U.P., while also having experience cooking for small groups in Alaska as well!
We are more than willing to travel to you!
When you book with us we block off three to four days around your date to ensure we are able to give you and your event our full attention.
