A few things you might be wondering.

From planning your menu to what happens on the day of your event, here’s what to expect when you invite Gourmet All Day to your table.

Planning

  • Once we receive your inquiry, we’ll reach out to learn more about your occasion, preferences, and what you’re envisioning. From there, we’ll create a custom menu and proposal for your event. A 30% deposit reserves your date, and then we’ll take care of the details from there.

  • We recommend reaching out as early as possible to ensure availability, especially for weekends, holidays, and larger events. A minimum of one week is preferred to allow time for menu planning, ingredient sourcing, and preparation, though availability varies and larger or more customized events may require additional lead time.

  • Every Gourmet All Day menu is created around your occasion, your preferences, and style of service. Tell us what you love, what you don’t, and anything you have in mind. We’ll use that as a starting point and create a menu specifically for your gathering.

  • That’s completely fine. Tell us about your occasion, guest count, and how you’d like the gathering to feel, and we can help determine whether plated dining, family-style, hors d’oeuvres & grazing, or another approach makes the most sense.

  • Absolutely. Please let us know about any allergies or dietary needs as early as possible so we can take them into consideration while designing your menu. Depending on the severity of the allergy, we may ask for additional information before confirming what we can safely accommodate.

  • We accommodate everything from intimate dinners for two to larger gatherings of 50+ guests. Capacity for larger events depends on the style of service, venue, and needs of the occasion, so tell us what you’re planning and we’ll help determine the best approach.

Details

  • Your experience includes your custom menu and all ingredients, menu planning and preparation, on-site chef service, and cleanup of our workspace. Depending on the size and style of your gathering, additional staffing, rentals, or travel may be recommended and will always be discussed with you in advance.

  • For family-style dining and hors d’oeuvres, we provide the serving pieces needed for your menu. For plated dinners, we typically use your existing dinnerware and flatware. Additional rentals, including plates, glassware, linens, and other tabletop pieces, can be arranged upon request and are quoted separately.

  • We do not provide alcohol, but you’re welcome to supply your own. We’re happy to design your menu with your beverage selections in mind.

  • A fully equipped kitchen is preferred, but it isn’t always necessary. Depending on your menu and style of service, we can adapt to the space with advance preparation or portable cooking equipment. Tell us about your space when you inquire, and we’ll determine what will work best for your event.

  • Depending on your guest count and style of service, additional service staff may be recommended or required to ensure everything runs smoothly. Any staffing needs and associated fees will be discussed with you in advance.

  • Absolutely. We’re based in Oklahoma City and are happy to travel within a reasonable driving distance. A travel fee may apply depending on the the location and will be included in your proposal.

  • Gratuity is not included and is entirely optional. It is always appreciated, but never expected.

Booking & Policies

  • A 30% deposit is required to officially reserve your date. Your date is not considered booked until the deposit has been received.

  • Your final guest count is due seven days before your event. Once confirmed, this will be the minimum guest count reflected in your final balance. If you need to add guests after than point, we’ll do our best to accommodate them when possible.

  • Cancellations made at least seven days before your event are eligible for a refund of your deposit. For cancellations made within seven days of the event, the 30% deposit is nonrefundable.

    Any nonrefundable expenses already incurred specifically for your event, such as specialty ingredients, rentals, or outside staffing, remain the client’s responsibility.

  • The remaining balance is due the day after your event. Any approved adjustments made after the original proposal, such as guest count increases, staffing, rentals, or travel, will be reflected in the final balance.
