Charcuterie Catering FAQ (Weddings + Corporate)

Charcuterie Catering FAQ (Weddings + Corporate)

What does “bottomless” mean?

Bottomless means we continue replenishing boards throughout the service window so guests always have something beautiful to snack on, without you needing to manage anything.

Is this a grazing table?

No. This is a fully served experience with personal boards for guests and a team providing refills. It’s designed to feel elevated, clean, and seamless.

Do you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Yes. Gluten-free requests are common, and we can plan menu selections accordingly. Share your needs in advance so we can guide the best item choices.

How far in advance should we book?

Wedding dates (especially spring through fall) often book months to a year ahead. Corporate events can sometimes be shorter lead-time depending on the date and guest count.

What’s required to reserve a date?

A 50% deposit is due at booking, with the remaining balance due one week prior to your event.

How long is service?

Our core service is 2 hours, ideal for wedding cocktail hour and corporate receptions.
