What should the meal description tell you?

Look for the number of meal portions, the included choices, any upgrades, and the sides. Ask how dietary requests affect the planned menu. A photo of a spread should not substitute for a written list of what your guests receive.

Ask whether an additional serving is a full meal, an extra protein portion, or a side. This matters when guests want to order more than the standard selection.

Who handles each part of the setup?

Keep the event plan in two columns so that no one assumes another person has arranged the dining furniture or supplies.

Part of the gatheringWhat to settle
Chef’s work areaThe provider approves the space and explains its equipment needs.
Guest tableConfirm seating, tables, plates, cutlery, and napkins.
Drinks and dessertAssign a host unless the provider explicitly includes them.
RentalsConfirm local availability, cost, delivery, and collection.
CleanupAgree separately on cooking equipment, guest tableware, and rubbish.

What does “all included” mean for this event?

Ask the person quoting your event to name any exclusions. A convenient meal package may still have travel charges, premium selections, or a separate rental arrangement. Clear scope is more useful than an appealing label.

Keep the final list with your booking confirmation. If you change the venue or menu, ask the service to revise that list so the event brief remains accurate.

A FEW MORE ANSWERS

Common questions

Are drinks and cake automatically included?

Only if your specific agreement includes them. Plan those host tasks separately until confirmed.

Does cleanup include the entire property?

Ask what the provider clears and what remains with the host. Equipment cleanup and whole-property cleanup are different responsibilities.
