How much will my event cost?
There are so many variables with each event such as venue, service style and other special needs over and above menu choices that are unique to each event, that once you have a consultation with the Executive Chef, we are then able to prepare a written proposal for you to review. Since each event is unique, we strive to work with you to customize your menu and stay within your budget and make your event worry free and a wonderful experience! |
Will I be able to try the food before I book an event with you?
It is our policy to offer a tasting after a deposit has been made and a menu chosen. If you would prefer to have a tasting before booking and making a deposit, we would try to accommodate with a tasting that you would be charged for. If you then decide to book with us, that payment would be applied to your event. |
Why do prices vary with different caterers for what seems like a similar menu?
We at Gooseberries Catering strive to offer the highest quality, freshest products, excellent service and a beautiful presentation to make your event or special day wonderful. |
What happens to the leftover food after my event?
It is our policy, in accordance with the State of Wisconsin Health Department, that any food leftover from an event is not allowed to be taken by the clients or guests and remains the property of Gooseberries Catering. All of our events are based on accurate guest counts. |
Are there extra service charges besides the per person price?
A 19% catering fee is applied to all staffed events, as well as any state taxes. These will be added to the proposal. Depending on the amount of staff required, there may be an additional staffing fee. |
