How far in advance should I book my wedding caterer?

“Wedding Season” in Springfield seems to extend throughout the year, but the busiest times are May, June, September and October. During these premium months, we typically book weddings 12-18 months in advance.

I’m looking for someone to cater a corporate event.  

How far in advance should I book for catering?

Corporate lead times are much shorter unless booking for a holiday party.  Holiday parities such as a Christmas Party are sometimes booked as far as 1 year in advance but typically 7 to 8 months before.  Most times though, corporate functions are booked a couple months out.  For smaller requests such as a luncheon or boxed lunches, we suggest calling 2 weeks to a week out. 

Does Simply Delicious specialize in certain types of food or service?

Patty Wingo, chef and owner of Simply Delicious Catering, loves all types of cuisine.

American bistro, Lebanese, BBQ, Asian and Hispanic (Mexican) are just a few of the types of foods we love to create. Our culinary team designs menus from bite size and passed hors-d’oeuvres to plated and served meals. We love creating the perfect bites, and have shaped our menus to be up to date with the latest trends.

I’m interested in specific foods. Is there a way to arrange for tasting for those foods?

We take great pride in designing a menu custom for each individual client. We start with a brainstorming session. During this session, we get to know a little about you, your visions for your event, the number of guests, where it will take place, discuss your budget, and create a tasting menu specifically for you.

We then set up a complimentary tasting, on a date of your choice, and you and five of your guests can sample different menu items that you chose. We will sit with you to discuss the menu items you tasted, and make any modifications to make sure that each item is exactly what you want.

How do I book Simply Delicious Catering for my event?

A signed contract and a nonrefundable $500 deposit will secure us for your event.

When is my final guest count and payment due?

Your final guest count and payment are due 14 days prior to your event.
