How do I reserve my date?

Submit an inquiry with your date, location, estimated guest count, and preferred menu. We’ll confirm availability within 24 hours and send a quote. Your booking is secured once the required deposit and booking agreement are completed.

How far in advance should I book?

We typically schedule events approximately 3 to 4 months in advance. We recommend contacting us as soon as you have your event date confirmed. Early booking allows us ample time to plan your menu and customize details to your preferences. While we do accept last-minute requests, these are subject to availability.

What if I don’t see what I’m looking for?

We love exploring new ideas! Whether you have a particular food, drink, or experience in mind, share your vision with us. We’ll discuss what’s possible based on our equipment, food preparation requirements, and event setup, then create a custom option whenever we can.

What’s included in full-service cart catering?

Your package includes the cart, an attendant, your selected menu, setup, and breakdown. Personalized signage, cart decals, and themed serving details are included according to the package you choose.

How long do you serve?

Most cart experiences include 1.5 hours of service. Longer service times can be arranged based on your guest count and event schedule.

What do you need for setup?

We need a level, accessible space for the cart and our team. Depending on your menu, we may also need access to electricity. We’ll confirm the requirements before your event.

Do you offer options without an attendant?

Yes! Our grab-and-go options include ready-to-serve treats and select drop-off setups. Ask us which options work best for your gathering.

When will we plan the custom details?

After booking, we’ll work with you on the creative direction. Design mockups are typically shared 3 weeks before your event, with revisions according to your package.
