We provide catering in private residences, vacation homes, rentals such as an Airbnb, or any type of venue you choose. As long as there is a full kitchen, we can accommodate!

The approach is eclectic - when people ask, I often tell them the majority of flavors are familiar.

We love classics as much as creating dishes inspired by seasonality and different regional cuisines from across the globe.

No matter what, it’s got to be delicious.

We provide catering for just about every type of get together. A group of friends who want a personal chef to cook for their dinner party, a birthday celebration, a wedding, or an anniversary.

We also offer corporate catering, cocktail party events, and just about any other type of get together where food is needed.

We do! However, we use a different approach than most cooking classes.

Instead of the traditional method where everyone has a stationed area with either a recipe or a portion of a recipe, we show people how to cook items they’d like to make themselves without recipes. We also don’t require every person in your group to participate. As long as there's 2-3 who do.

We begin by having you look at our menu, then you'll choose items that your group will make together. Once the food is ready, everyone sits down to enjoy the items together.

We assist each person throughout the interactive class, and even handle basic prep work in advance (chopping of ingredients etc) so your group can learn the key parts of cooking without recipes.

The menu is set up so you can build a 3 or 4 course menu by choosing 1 item from each category. Starters are optional.

Starters are designed to be served before your group sits down to dine, which is nice if you’re socializing before sitting down to dinner. No more than a small plate is required. Items are 1-2 bites each, but we always prepare more than enough. Starters are optional since some groups want to sit down to eat right away.

We require groups to dine on the same items, and we’ll make all dietary accommodations for anyone with allergies, restrictions or aversions.

This way, everyone can enjoy a meal together even if there needs to be slight differences for certain members of your group. This method works 99% of the time.

No matter what, we’ll always accommodate you.

This depends on the method of service (Coursed Family Style or Table Service) and whethe the venue has adequate serving-ware, dining-ware and flatware.

Once you determine the menu format and method of service (Coursed Family Style or Table Service) we will tell you what’s required.

If rental items are needed, we’ll assist you with the entire process, and connect you with a rental company if needed.

Once you’ve reviewed the menu, the next step is to contact us.

We’ll respond in less than 48 hours. Often quicker.

After we’ve discussed your event thoroughly and gone over every detail, we will send you a link with an invoice to make a 50% deposit.

The amount of the 50% deposit is based on the following:

The number of people in your group.

The menu format which includes optional starters and number of courses.

If you’d like us to cook for you, but it’s 2 or more weeks away from your event date, you do not need to make specific menu choices, but the 50% deposit will be required to secure the date. If the date is less than 2 weeks away, it’s necessary to make specific menu selections along with the deposit.

Final menu selections will need to me made no later than 8 days from your event.

The remaining amount will be due after the event is complete.

NOTE:

If you've received the invoice, but have not made the 50% deposit, the date is not secured.

We have two methods of service.

Coursed Family Style:
Each course is brought to the dining table on one or more larger platters, one course at a time. Carefully served and beautifully presented. Your guests will not need to pass any heavy plates around.

Table Service:
$50 per person and available by request based on your group size and our staff availability. When available, the chef(s) individually plate, serve, and clear each course. Food servers are not necessary since our chefs take care of everything.

Absolutely! Whether it's light preparations to go with you beverages, or what’s often referred to as “heavy hors d'oeuvres” which means you want your guests to have ample food, we can accommodate.

Each Cocktail Party menu item is 1 - 2 bites, and no utensils are needed. This way, your guests can socialize while enjoying both passed and freshly stationed items.

We ensure there’s plenty of food, and your guests can enjoy as much as they’d like.

When making menu selections, we recommend a minimum of at least 4 savory items and 1 dessert item. If there’s people in your group who are vegetarian or don’t eat certain items, it can be best to select a minimum of 5 savory items.

Terms and Conditions for mise en place Catering Services

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern the provision of catering services (“Services”) by mise en place (“The Company”) to the client (“The Client”) and constitute a legally binding agreement between the parties.

Deposit

A deposit of 50% of the total cost must be made to secure the date. This includes a deposit with a credit or debit card made through Squarespace Invoices, which secures your event date. The deposit amount is based on the number of guests you expect and the menu format (e.g., how many items per category you would like). The deposit amount can change if your group size changes or if you add/remove menu selections.

Notification Deadline

Any changes to guest count or menu format must be communicated to The Company no later than 120 hours before the event. Changes must be approved by The Company and may include deposit adjustments if the group size increases and/or menu selections exceed the original amount. If the group size decreases and/or menu selections result in a lesser amount, the remaining balance will be adjusted accordingly, and The Client will be refunded.

If The Client fails to communicate changes within the above time frame, The Company may not be able to accommodate the changes to the service.

For The Company to perform the service, The Company must confirm your requested changes. If The Company confirms, it will provide The Client with the adjusted amount and issue an updated invoice. If the amount is less, the remaining balance will reflect the decreased amount.

Consequences of Late Notification

Failure to notify The Company of any changes within the 120-hour window can result in inadequate staffing, food, supplies, and potentially the need for The Company to cancel the event. In such a case, The Client forfeits their deposit. The Company will make every effort to prevent deposit forfeiture and attempt to reschedule The Client's event on a date of their choice. The Company will offer The Client a credit less any expenses incurred within the 120 hours leading up to the event date.

Refunds

No refunds will be processed for changes to menus, guest count, or if The Client fails to pay updated deposit amounts with less than 120 hours' notice.

"Cut Off" Dates

The final "cut off" date for any changes in guest count or menu format is 120 hours before the event start time. This allows The Company to make necessary adjustments in staffing, food orders, and food preparation.

Emergency and Unforeseen Circumstances

If The Company needs to cancel the service date due to any impact from natural disasters, illness, or other emergencies, The Company will offer The Client their choice of available service dates based on The Company’s availability.

If The Client needs to cancel the service date due to any impact from natural disasters, illness, or other emergencies, The Company will offer The Client their choice of available service dates based on The Company’s availability.

If The Company has incurred certain expenses (e.g., food purchases), The Company may offer partial credit based on the expenses incurred.

The Company will make every effort to save The Client any amounts possible and will operate in good faith to every extent possible.
