What Are The Catering Options Available For Graduation Events? Culinary Excellence can fit any style of graduation celebration, from formal plated dinners to casual buffet-style options. We offer customized choices to fit the tone of your event. Other popular options include BBQ stations, gourmet finger foods, and themed menus. We also offer vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options so that all of your guests feel included in the fun. Let our staff make some suggestions on menu selections that best suit your budget and preference. How Early in Advance Should I Book the Catering Service? Graduation seasons are usually very busy; thus, it is always best to book them well in advance. For bigger events, two to three months would be desirable so you are assured that the caterers will be available, and within this time, you can work with them to finalize all the details. Understandably, spontaneous events do come up, and, depending on the availability, Culinary Excellence may be able to accommodate leads far shorter than that. Do You Have Any Customized Menus To Suit Special Dietary Requirements? Yes, we do! At Culinary Excellence, we specialize in menu design to fit every dietary need imaginable. Whether you're looking for gluten-free dishes, vegan creations, or allergy-conscious fare, we can craft a bespoke menu that'll keep every guest happy. We work with you to understand your needs and preferences so that there is something delicious for all your guests at your graduation event. How Many Servers are Going to Be Needed for My Event? This number is only relative, of course, to the size and style of your function. Smaller events take a few staff, while larger or more formal events obviously take many more. A rule of thumb may be one server per 20-25 guests for buffet-style events, though plated dinners sometimes require a more one-to-one, staff-to-guest ratio. We'll be happy to assess your event size and make some recommendations to ensure smooth service. How Do I Know How Much Food to Order for My Guests?  Our experts will help you estimate food quantities based on your guest list, service style, and the length of your event. Normally, we always advise people to make a little extra to be sure every guest gets enough. With Culinary Excellence, you won't have to be afraid that you'll run out, as we also advise you on just how to make it all right.
