FAQs

What is "fusion" cuisine?

"Fusion" cuisine is an East - meets - West mashup of flavors, ingredients, and cooking techniques. The end result is something delectable that appeals to a variety of palates. If you prefer something more traditionally Eastern or something more for the Western tastebuds, we're happy to oblige!

What events do you cater?

While our focus is mainly weddings, we also cater for corporate events, social events, and more.

When should I reserve my date?

We always recommend that you reserve as soon as possible and no later than four months in advance.

Can I make changes to the menu?

Of course! Your menu and your day should be as special as you are! Our menus are suggested based on popular dishes and tastes, but alternatives can be discussed with our chef.

Why don't your menus show the price per person?

We actually consider a number of things when it comes to pricing, such as guest count, peak vs. off-season, location, dish selections, and more! We are happy to give you an estimated quote to begin with, but that may not be the final number. We will work with you to tweak your menu until everything looks right, and we'll give you a final price then. Just fill out the Contact Us form to get started!

Can you accommodate vegetarian or vegan palates?

Yes! Our vegetarian or vegan items are marked with a [v] on our menus. Some items can be made vegetarian or vegan upon request.

Is there a cake cutting fee?

Cake cutting is free-of-charge and included in all menus. Plastic plates and forks are also included. Ceramic dishware and silverware are available to rent at an extra cost.

Who does the set-up and tear-down for my event?

We will set up and tear down buffet and individual stations, basic guest table settings, etc. We will also bus after the meal. However, we do not arrange the tables and chairs.

What do your packages include?

All our packages include one glass per person, ceramic plates, and silverware. Extra glasses are available for rent. We also provide napkins for each guest and linens for the buffet tables. If there is a specific style of linen you like, we can recommend a rental company.

Where can I find more information?

If you want to read more about us, we had a fun blog with lots of details and photos (including a few celebrity meet-and-greets!) from 2011 - 2014. Find it here at http://catering4seasons.blogspot.com/

What is an "event fee"?

Many caterers call this fee by different names. The "event fee" covers a number of back-end operations by our staff, such as walk-throughs, meetings, event planning, insurance certificates, vendor coordination, and much more! This fee includes covers all the hard work the office staff puts into making everything go as smoothly as possible the day of your event. This way, there are no other surprise fees or surcharges. Isn't it nice to not have to worry about that?

Is gratuity for servers included?

Gratuity is not included in our packages. For our staff, tips are not expected but always appreciated!

I love kimchi! Can I add it to my menu?

We love kimchi, too! Complimentary kimchi can be added to any menu.

So now what?

Send us an email or contact us on our "Find Us" page! We will check the availability of your date, and if we can be a part of your day, we will set up a first meeting.
