Pricing & Discounts
Pricing
It is virtually impossible to provide specific pricing information about an unknown event. Prices are influenced by the following considerations, among many others:
- Cost of source ingredients
- Complexity of the dishes and the amount of cooking / prep time associated with them – for most events, we are cooking for many hours before we arrive at the event site
- Distance we have to travel
- Number of courses
- Short notice bookings
- Overnight stays
- The number of prep/service staff required to make your event fabulous
- Wine pairings
- Mean and/or humorless person surcharge
Given the aforementioned considerations, the starting point or range for event pricing is as follows:
| Dinner for Two | $150 – $1500 |
| Dinner for Four | $250 – $4000 |
| Dinner for Six | $400 – $7000 |
| Wine Pairings | $30.00 / person (can be much higher depending on the wines selected and the number of courses) |
| Wine Classes | $30.00 / person (can be much higher depending on the wines selected and the number of wines tasted) 3 person minimum |
| Cocktail Classes | $20.00 / person (at this price, client would be responsible for the ingredients) 4 person minimum |
| Cooking Classes with Dinner | $100 – $500/ person |
| BBQ | $300 – $4000 |
Pricing estimates are not inclusive of applicable local taxes and gratuities. All events are subject to the Terms & Conditions of the CES Event Agreement.
