What to Arrange Before Your Boynton Beach Catering
For a family party or hall gathering, the food is only part of the plan. Our price covers the menu, cooking, our staff, buffet equipment and cleanup after ourselves. Tables, chairs, linens and glassware are not included, so a few things are worth settling early.
Not in the price, added as a line in your estimate:
- Guest tables and chairs
- Linens and table textiles
- Glassware and dessert plates
- Trash removal from the venue
Rentals go through our partners, so you do not chase a second company. If your hall already provides some of these items, tell us on the call and the estimate lists only the rest.
Settle before the final count:
- Staff size. We add about one team member for every 25 guests, with a chef, cooks and servers as the size requires, so a bigger count means a bigger team on your estimate.
- Vendors who eat. A DJ, photographer or other contractor is charged at the full guest price, and their meals are added to your count 7 days ahead.
- Final numbers. The guest count and menu are due 10 working days before the event, and after that the count can only go up.
For a memorial gathering or a birthday, see our pages on funeral reception catering and birthday party catering. For the full price list, open catering menu and prices.
