We’re happy to assist you in planning your event! Please review the booking information below to help ensure a smooth, well-organized, and enjoyable catering experience from beginning to end.
Initial Inquiry
To begin the booking process, please email our Operations Manager, Hannah, at hannah@thethatchers.net
with a brief overview of your event, including the date, location, estimated guest count, and any initial details you would like us to know.
After reviewing your inquiry, she will provide you with a service questionnaire to complete and return. The completed questionnaire allows us to thoughtfully prepare a customized menu proposal and detailed quote tailored to your event.
If you have any questions at any point, please feel free to reach out via email or by phone at 425-246-9533. We are happy to assist you.
Consultation & Proposal
After reviewing your inquiry, we will schedule a consultation to discuss menu preferences, service style, and event logistics. Following our conversation, you will receive a customized quote outlining menu selections, pricing, and service details
Menu Customization
We offer flexibility in menu design to reflect your tastes and event style. Adjustments can be made to accommodate dietary restrictions, theme preferences, or specialty requests to ensure a thoughtfully curated experience.
Further customization of menus can be done through tastings, which will be detailed down below.
Tastings
We highly recommend scheduling a tasting for more formal events, such as weddings and milestone celebrations, to ensure your selected menu reflects your exact preferences in flavor, presentation, and detail. A tasting allows you to experience our cuisine firsthand and make any final adjustments with confidence.
For clients who have officially booked with us and submitted their deposit, tastings are complimentary. For those who are still in the decision-making process, a tasting fee will apply. We strive to keep tasting costs as reasonable as possible, as we view the experience as an opportunity for you to sample our services and determine if we are the right fit for your event. However, the final fee will vary depending on the number and variety of items requested, as we must account for the cost of ingredients and preparation.
Confirmation & Deposit
To secure your event date, a signed agreement and deposit are required. Deposit is half of the agreed quote and must be placed two weeks prior to the event. For larger parties and celebrations, we strongly recommend securing your date well in advance, as it cannot be formally reserved until a signed agreement and deposit have been received.
Once received, your date is officially reserved and planning begins in earnest.
Final Details & Payment
Approximately 1 month prior to your event, we will confirm final guest counts, event timeline, and any remaining details. The final balance is due two weeks prior to the event.
Event Execution
On the day of your event, our team arrives prepared and coordinated to deliver seamless service, exceptional presentation, and delicious food :)
