Planning questions · Sample menus · How it works
At a larger event, a single guest count is only the beginning of the brief. Describe how people will arrive, whether the event uses multiple spaces and how the program divides the day.
Carmelized Productions lists capability for events with up to 10,000 guests. That is a confirmed scale claim, not a promise of availability for every venue or format. A detailed plan needs the location, schedule and scope to be agreed with the team.
What to include in the inquiry
- Total attendance and any separate guest groups
- Venue, areas in use and production contact
- Service windows and the run of show
- Preparation, access and rental information available
- Dietary needs, bar scope and budget
The food and service
Discuss the appropriate combination of stations, buffet, passed or plated service. Staffing ratios, kitchen arrangements, service timings and production statistics must be confirmed for the event; no invented figures are shown here.
Menus to discuss
Sample menus are a starting point. Confirm dishes and availability with the catering team.
Planning the next step
Include your estimated guest count and budget band. The Company field is optional. If the location is still undecided, enter “Not booked yet.” Read how the inquiry works and the common questions.
