Once location is confirmed, reach out to the site-specific catering team two weeks prior to your desired date. During holiday months, we recommend providing additional lead time for optimal coordination.

- 3.4 Custom Menu: For custom menus and reception requests that deviate from our standard menu, it is recommended to initiate the conversation via email at least 2 weeks prior to the event. This will ensure all requests can be met. During the holiday season, additional lead time may be required.
