Event Tips & References
Events are functions of FOUR variables:
 Time - event parameters & planningSpace - how much is available at the siteMoney - important or not?Do you have a budget?
Effort - yours or someone else'sThese must be acknowledged and prioritized
|
Most caterers take your basic suggestions concerning menu and event layout and produce the whole thing.
|
This is efficient but more often than not you don't get exactly what you are looking for.
It also is the most expensive form of catering as you are literally paying for everything.
|
|
Total canded communication is necessary during the planning of an event. To avoid dissapointment make certain that what you expect will actually take place. Do not just hear what you want to hear - stay on the same page with all those concerned.
|
At Soirees we are willing to become trusting partners with you and allow you to participate in the production of your event at what ever level you feel most comfortable
|
The Soirees Difference!

We feel this approach allows all of the parties involved the most creative freedom, while also guaranteeing the success of your event. Chef Joel will coach you through the entire pre-function planning and put it all together on the Special Day
