The process

Start with what you know.

Use the inquiry to outline the occasion. Dates, guest numbers and the venue give the team a starting point.

01 / Describe the event

Tell the team who is gathering, where, when and how many guests you expect. Company information is optional.

Choose the formats, bar service and dietary requirements you have in mind. Mention staffing, rentals and access needs.

Select an estimated budget range. These bands help describe the inquiry; they are not prices or confirmed minimums.

Before booking, agree the menu, staffing, rentals, timing, total price and payment terms with the catering team.

Before booking, review the proposal with the team and confirm the menu, service scope, payment schedule, guest-count deadline and cancellation terms.

Start with a date, a place and a rough guest count.
