Are you planning an event and are unsure about what quantity to order? Here are some hints for ordering your appetizers:
* For a social or cocktail hour before dinner, plan to serve 3 or 4 different appetizers, allowing 3 to 4 bites per person for a total of 12 pieces.
* For an open house affair, plan to serve 4 to 5 different appetizers and allow 4 to 6 bites per person per hour of serving for a total of 16 pieces per hour per guest.
* For an Hors d’ oeuvres buffet that is served in place of a meal, plan to serve 6 to 8 different appetizers and allow 6 to 9 bites per person per hour of food service.
How many different kinds of hors d’oeuvres will you need per number of guest attending?
*For up to 35 guests plan for 4-5 different kinds of hors d'oeuvres
*For 35-60 guests, plan for 7-9 different kinds of hors d'oeuvres
*For more than 60 guests, plan for 9 or more different kinds of hors d'oeuvres
Remember……Adding warm and chilled side items offer variety and accent hors d'oeuvres buffets and party trays!
Prices Include:
Additional fees:
Bar and Beverage Service:
We employ professional bartenders to serve alcoholic beverages that you provide. You simply provide all of the chilled beverages and ice
you wish to serve. We provide bar equipment, fruit & vegetable garnishes, cocktail napkins & stirrers, table & linens necessary for a professional appearance. One (1) bartender will be needed for every 50/75 guest. A fee of $200.00 per bartender is for a 6 hour period (1 hour set up, 5 hours service). An additional $50.00 per hour, per bartender for overtime, if the need arises.
A great way to simplify the reception is to offer wine, beer and a “Signature Cocktail". Have our bartenders mix up a concoction that stars your favorite liquor, matches your color scheme or just choose your favorite cocktail to serve. We then have you choose the name that has a personal meaning between the two of you and your family and friends. You will meet with the bartenders for a taste testing of 4-5 different mixed drinks to decide the “Signature Cocktail”.
A list of liquor and juices required (with amounts) will be provided for you to purchase, in the case the drink needs to be mixed prior
to the event, this cost will be added to your invoice.
Not serving alcohol? a non-alcoholic “Signature Punch” is a great option. A sign with the name and ingredients of the “Signature Cocktail” will be displayed on the bar table. It will add a personal touch to your reception!
You may purchase cups for your event or have us take care of those and you will only be charged for the cups used.
Remember: purchase 2-3 cups per guest if serving alcoholic drinks.
