FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us either via email 
​or telephone at 609.212.0777 and we will be happy to answer your them.

1.     HOW DO I CHOOSE FOODS FOR MY MENU?
       Probably the most frequently asked question, how do I know what foods to pick. Remember, variety is the
       key. W
hen creating custom menus we try to keep it fresh and we always remember that there may be
       vegetarians so
we always have an offering for them. Choose food that appeal to you, and that reflect the
       "feel" of your event. We, of course, are more than happy to guide you through the process to ensure your
​       selections are fabulous and balanced.


2.    CAN I REQUEST SPECIAL FOODS or MENUS FOR OUR PARTY?
       Absolutely-just let us know. We are happy to create a menu that suits desired theming, dietary needs & 
       special requests.


3.    WHAT IS GENERALLY INCLUDED IN YOUR PER PERSON PRICING?

       Please click link for our GENERAL INFORMATION. 

4.    WHAT IF I WANT TO SEND GUESTS HOME WITH A “GOODY/FAVOR BAG,” CAN YOU HELP WITH THAT?

       We are more than happy to help with your take-away gifts. We can do cookies, cupcakes, truffles-the list is
       endless. 
Just let us know what your thoughts are and we can go from there.

5.   
 DO I ACTUALLY “NEED” STAFFING FOR MY EVENT? IS IT BETTER THAT YOU STAY, / THAT I HAVE YOU
       BRING ADDITIONAL STAFF?

      This is entirely your call. Some clients prefer us to just come-in prior to the event, set-up and then leave. We
       then
 either return after the event, or if necessary the next morning to retrieve our equipment.  There are
       some instances
 where we recommend & even require staff stay on-site. We recommend it when the party
       or event is large or 
overly complex requiring refreshing and continual cleanup. Such events generally fall
       into the following categories:
 
  • Most events with an estimated guest count of over 50ppl require general staffing as follows (based on number of guests:) 50-75 -2-3 staff members,  75-149-4-5 staff members, 150-200-5-6 staff members, 200 and above to be determined. Note that the number of staff recommended or required, is purely dependent on the type of event, degree of service etc.
  • Events that require significant set-up, reset, or execution will require additional staffing.
  • All events that are produced in their entirety, on-site, to include cooking and service, will require additional staffing.

6.    WE REQUIRE A SPECIALTY CAKE/FLOWERS ETC.-CAN YOU HELP?
       Of course we can recommend sources for all your needs and can coordinate with the specific vendor so
       everything runs 
smoothly.

7.    
 WE ACTUALLY ONLY NEED SOMEONE TO HELP PLAN OUR EVENT, DOES 15 LANDSDOWNE OFFER 
       THAT SERVICE? IF SO WHAT DO YOU CHARGE?

       Yes, we most certainly do. We have planned and executed everything from movie premieres to non-profit 
       fundraisers. The
 cost is generally between 10-20% of your total budget. Meaning, that if you are spending
       $5000 the minimum fee
 would be $500 and the maximum of $1000. The variance is there because as the
       event become more complex, 
requiring more time, the percentage increases. These fees are generally paid
       up front with all other necessary 
deposits. When paying for this service, every detail is taken care of per
       your needs-from location & menu selection
 to vendor/staffing coordination, rental equipment and full
       event execution. Please give us a call and we can talk
 about what your specific needs are.

8.    WE ARE ON A PRETTY STRICT BUDGET-CAN WE EVEN AFFORD A CATERER/EVENT PRODUCER?

       Of course you can! We do everything in our power to adjust menus & costs to fit almost any budget. We
       honestly  
believe that you should actually have the chance to enjoy your event and not have to worry
       about  all the details 
regardless of your budget. We have done events for many nonprofits & for many
       clients just wanting to do a little
 something special, both of which can have very tight budgets. We will
       happily create a menu that will be both 
affordable and fabulous, as well as work with you if you need
       someone to help with your event, but don’t 
necessarily have the budget for a full-blown event producer.
7.    WE WANT THE FOOD STATIONS/BUFFETS & TABLES TO REFLECT OUR EVENT. DO YOU PROVIDE LINEN,
       TABLEWARE, GLASSWARE ETC. FOR THE EVENT?

       15 Landsdowne is happy to provide all necessary linen, china, flatware & glassware for your event. There is
       no 
charge for use of anything we currently have in our inventory, this includes, white china, and stainless
       flatware. We do not, however, carry Glassware in
significant quantities, Nor do we carry Linens, Chair
       
Covers, Tenting, Specialty China (house color is white china,) or Tables/Chairs, thus requiring rental. If any
       of the
  aforementioned are required we are happy to locate, and coordinate with the rental company for
​       your
event.
