Questions to ask before booking
Can we schedule a tasting? How do you handle delivery and setup? What are your most popular flavors for destination weddings? Can you accommodate dietary restrictions (gluten-free, vegan)? What's the latest you can take order changes?
When to book
Book 3–6 months before the wedding. If you want a tasting, you'll need to plan a trip or schedule one during a planning visit.
