To Our Wedding Couples…
Congratulations on your recent engagement! As a caterer, we know how exciting this time before your wedding can be! We’re honored to be considered as your wedding caterer, and we thank you for your interest in Chic Le Chef!
We are pleased to present the following menus, created specifically for our wedding couples. These menu suggestions are some of the more popular items that we prepare, and are to give you an idea of how diverse your reception fare can be. You may choose one of these menus exactly as it is printed, or you may want to mix and match. Regardless, of what you choose, know that your event is unique to you, and we want to make sure your guests are well fed and happy! Being Chef Owned, we take pride in our menu design, and cooking or completing each item on site to ensure the highest quality possible. In addition, we feel that it is just as important to please the palate as well as the eye, and take great care with our presentation in buffet and plate design!
You will notice that we have not included prices with these menus, as we would like to give you a complete cost for your reception, including the menu, service charges, staff fees and rental estimate. Since each wedding reception is different (times, location, number of guests, etc) we are unable to quote pricing in this packet. Generally, our menus and services generally fall in the $25.00 to $95.00 range, including staff, menu and service fees, but not including rentals or alcohol.
We customize menus to fit your tastes, so you can use one of the attached menus to start with, or create from scratch. However, please call us at your convenience, and we will get pricing to you as soon as possible! 707.987.9664. You may visit our website www.chiclechef.com for photos and more information!
A few other notes:o Pleasant, attentive staff is something your guests will remember and your guests will be well accommodated for by our smiling, professional service team. Long after your guests have gone home, you will remember the easy elegant feeling of our service. We pride ourselves on training and keeping our employees for years and we don’t hire from temporary agencies for your event.
o Please note that each of these menus assume that you will be providing a wedding cake (which we will happily cut for you at no charge!) and coffee service, including regular and decaffeinated coffee.
o We are unable to purchase liquor for you. However, we will order it for you from a liquor store and have it delivered to your event. This is a complimentary service that we provide. We have trained bartenders on staff that we will price in for your event. If you are at a venue that has a liquor license, they will provide the bartenders for your event.
o Our Event Designers are here to be part of your planning process, assisting you with advice, suggestions on vendor choices and any other questions you may have! As your day draws near, you and your designer will meet at your reception location to talk about the layout of the day, including placement of tables, bar, buffets (if applicable), cake table, gift table, etc.
