Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing and Final Guest Count
Prices quoted are based on the guest count provided to A Day to Remember, LLC. The cost may increase if the final guest count reduces by more than 10% of the proposed number of guests. A final guest count is due ten (10) business days prior to the event and is considered a guarantee for which the party responsible will be charged. After this date the guest count may not be reduced.
Deposits, Terms, & Conditions:
Catering services are secured only when a non-refundable deposit of 25% is paid in full and received in conjunction with this signed agreement. If the deposit is not received within ten (10) days of the date of this agreement, then A Day To Remember, LLC has the first right of refusal and the reservation may be cancelled. The final balance is due in full ten (10) business days prior to the event. Payment can be made in the form of check or credit card.
Gratuity
A Day to Remember does not charge a standard gratuity. If you as the client feel that they have exceeded your expectations and would like to show them your appreciation, gratuities are graciously accepted.
Taxes
Prices quoted are subject to a 6.25% Massachusetts Sales Tax.
Service Charge
A Day to Remember does not have a service charge.
Securing Your Date
We lock in event dates with clients based on a signed contract that specifically outlines the parameters of the event. There is a non-refundable deposit of 25% of the anticipated catering cost of the event due with the signed contract. The menu can be adjusted after a contract is signed, but pricing and staffing are based on the minimum guest count specified in the contract, and would be adjusted based on any changes to the menu or guest count minimum. The locking in of an event date with a client allows us to allocate the appropriate amount of our resources for that date and avoids over booking for the same date.
Rental Equipment
We provide all necessary service ware for our catering services (chafing dishes, silver platters, serving bowls, coffee urns, grills, heat lamps, etc.) Tents, lighting, tables, chairs, linens, glassware, flatware, etc. are rental items. A Day to Remember has a longstanding working relationship with Peterson Party Center, and we are happy to provide our clients with a suggested rental list for their event. We can also act as your agent and assist in making arrangements with Peterson Party Center.
Day of Event Coordinator
We can provide an Event Coordinator for the day of your event to handle the placement of centerpieces, place cards, menu cards, centerpieces and favors, along with coordinating all other vendors such as your dj, band, officiate, florist and baker. The charge for a coordinator is 350.00 for the day of your event.
Set up & Breakdown
We will arrive at the event 1.5 to 2 hours before the scheduled start of the event to set up all the food service tables, bars and prep areas so that we are ready for service before your first guest arrives. If you would like us to set up the rental tables, chairs and perform other duties like pre-ceremony refreshments, we are more than happy to accommodate but there would be additional labor charges. At the end of any event we re-rack all the rental china, glassware and flatware and we will remove tablecloths if the guests have departed. If you would like us to breakdown the tables and chairs, again we are more than happy to, but it would involve additional labor charges.
Leftovers
All foods that have been finished and displayed and that are still safe for consumption (food that have not been out at room temperature too long) will be neatly packaged, labeled and left in the host’s refrigerator. Because we always bring more food than we expect to go through, all food inventories that have not been put out for display will remain with us.
Vendor Meals
Non Seated Guests, such as; your dj, band members, officiate, photographer etc. will have the opportunity to dine in a separate location after all of your seated guests have been fed. The total number of vendors is included in the guest count that you provide to A Day to Remember.
Cake Cutting
There is no additional fee for cake cutting. There is a nominal fee for any additional garnish you request to have on each cake plate.
