Question 1

How far in advance should I book?

Accepted Answer

The sooner the better, especially for weekends and holidays. Send your date over and we'll tell you right away if it's open. Working with a short timeline? Call and ask — we'll be honest about what we can do.

Question 2

Is there a minimum guest count?

Accepted Answer

Minimums depend on the menu and the kind of service you need. Build your event and we'll confirm the minimum for your setup. [Jeannette: add your confirmed minimums here.]

Question 3

Do you deliver?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pickup and delivery are both options, and delivery pricing depends on how far we're driving. Tell us where the event is and we'll figure it out.

Question 4

Do you provide setup?

Accepted Answer

We can drop off food ready to serve, or come set the whole line up for you. Pick the level of help you want in the event builder.

Question 5

Can you provide servers?

Accepted Answer

Staffed service is available for some events. Mark it in your request and we'll confirm staffing and pricing for your date.

Question 6

Do you cater weddings?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely — and we also cater plenty of things that aren't weddings. Receptions, rehearsal dinners, showers, you name it.

Question 7

Do you cater smaller gatherings?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Small groups are welcome. Smaller counts sometimes price a little differently, and we'll walk you through it.

Question 8

Can you accommodate dietary needs?

Accepted Answer

Tell us what you're working with — allergies, vegetarian guests, kids' plates — and we'll do our best to make it work.

Question 9

How does pricing work?

Accepted Answer

Pricing is built around your menu, your guest count, and how much help you need on event day. The builder gives you a starting point, and Jeannette confirms the real number.

Question 10

Is my online estimate my final quote?

Accepted Answer

No. The online estimate is a preliminary starting point. Final pricing is confirmed by Cater It after we review your event details, location, menu and service needs.

Question 11

How far do you travel?

Accepted Answer

We're based in Middlesboro and regularly cover Southeastern Kentucky. If your event is farther out, send us the details and we'll confirm availability and pricing.

Question 12

What information do you need to quote my event?

Accepted Answer

Date, location, roughly how many people you're feeding, what kind of food you're thinking, and how much help you need. That's enough to get started.
