Here are some common questions:

How much does an event cost?

Every event is customized per the host's desires. While some events are the common three course meal, some prefer four courses, or multiple choices per course depending on the number of guests expected. 


How far in advanced does an event need to be booked?

Please contact ahead of time to begin planning as all events are required to be booked at least 30 days in advanced, with a 50% deposit, to reserve the date. Any balance is due prior to the start of service.


What are the additional fees?

  • Cancelation: Service Fee - By client: if canceled at least 30 days in advanced, a full refund will be credited electronically. After 30 days, there is a 20% cancelation fee. If canceled by Chef Gina: although rare, as a small family business emergencies may occur - a full refund will be sent. Kitchen Fee -  The kitchen reservation must be canceled at least 2 weeks ahead for full refund / 1 week for 50% refund / no refund if within 7 days of the reservation. 
  • Travel: All events & classes booked that are located over 15 miles from Beekman, NY will incur a fee of $3.50/mile plus any tolls.
  • Special pick-ups: Such as items from local bakery or specialty market, may incur an additional fee based on distance plus the reimbursement.
  • Food cost: Unless specified otherwise, the receipts for food purchased will be provided to the host for reimbursement upon chef's arrival. 
  • Equipment rental: All equipment needed to prepare the meals is brought to the location by the chef and included in the price quoted. If additional items are needed to present the food such as plates, flatware, and dishes, they can be rented for an additional fee plus an additional staff member. 


What is the maximum number of guests served?

At this time, larger events are up to 20 persons with either a buffet or family style service.


Who does the food shopping?

All of the food, unless previously arranged, will be purchased by the chef within 24hrs of the event. 


How does typical event planning go?

Prior to the event, the host will work with Chef Gina to plan the menu for the day. If planning for a group event, the menu will be used to generate an accurate quote. Upon approval, a personalized menu will be created for the event as well as the behind the scenes details. A photo of the kitchen and dining area will be requested to aid will planning. Closer to the event, any remaining questions will be reviewed with the host. The needed ingredients are purchased within 24 hours of the event and prepared fresh on site. Upon arrival, the chef(s) will begin setting up in the kitchen and cooking the recipes as needed. All dishes will be presented in the manner as chosen by the host. As the last meal is being prepared, kitchen clean up begins.


Is tax/gratuity included?

No, these items are not included in the quote. The final amount will be taxed per the location's local tax rate. Gratuities are kindly accepted and greatly appreciated.  


What are the limitations on gift certificates?

 *After payment is received, a personalized gift certificate will be created and the images will be sent via email to the purchaser for printing. If you would like to request a mail option, please allow at least 1 week for arrival.

*The gift certificate is to be used for the class series purchased. 

*Not refundable or redeemable for cash. 

*On the gift certificate, it provides the email address for the recipient to contact to register for the monthly calendar. 

*The suggested cost of the gift certificate will be the current rate of a regular class in the series. The value of the gift certificate (the price paid), is indicated on the gift certificate and deducted from the class of the recipient's choosing. There is also an option of selecting the amount of your choice to be deducted from the recipient's class.

*Gift certificates purchased in 2024: pricing discount is good for 1 year from the date purchased; no additional cost is needed when applied to the class series purchased. Should a date during 2025 not align with the recipient’s availability, the value paid does not expire and would be subtracted from the price of a 2026 class. 

*If more than 1 class is purchased, the recipient has the option of sharing their additional class with another person

*If a class is canceled, the gift certificate remains unredeemed.
