How it works

  • Choose a Catering Experience

    Simply select from one of our curated catering experiences for your required guest count.

  • Check provider availability

    Choose the date and time for your event. Once you book the package, we will check the availability of the provider. You will not be charged at this point, and we only hold the amount on your card.

  • Sit back & let us do the rest

    If the provider is available we will book the event and charge your card. You will then be connected with the provider to discuss any details.
