How far in advance should we book Tulips & Maple?
We advise at least six to 12 months in advance. Once your date and location have been confirmed, contact us to check the availability of the date. Certain dates are more popular than others — so book earlier for holidays, weekends and the months of May, June and August through December.

Which is more suitable — a buffet or plated dinner?
A buffet offers your guests more variety in menu, accommodates a diverse range of tastes and offers an informal ambience. An eye-catching buffet or food station is a welcome attraction for your guests. Add a chef at a BBQ and you have added entertainment value, too! Buffet dinners are generally less expensive than a plated meal once the additional costs of staff and rentals are considered. Buffet service may be more leisurely as guests mingle at the food tables.

A plated meal offers an elegant and formal ambience and is more efficient in terms of service and logistics. There is typically one set menu for plated functions. Plated meal service tends to be more expensive due to the additional staff and rentals required.

Looking for something different in wedding dinners? A trend that's growing in popularity is our interactive chef stations. Delicious culinary creations are prepared right in front of your guests with enticing aromas and attractive displays. Add a little "cater-taining" to your special day!

How much do your weddings cost?
Price is important. You want a unique and memorable event at a fair and reasonable price. Every wedding is a little different and numerous variables will affect your total price. But as a general rule of thumb, the cost for food, staff, rentals, taxes and event coordination for wedding dinners typically range between $80 - $120 per person. Another option is an evening or hors d'oeuvres reception, which ranges between $45 - $75 per person.

Remember these are only ballpark figures meant to help you in your budgeting efforts and not final quotes for your day. To determine an accurate estimate contact us for an appointment with Julie, our wedding planner extraordinaire.

What does the event coordination fee cover?
This covers all the extras that we do for you to ensure your event is a success. Excellence in catering is more than just great cooking. Expert logistical planning and execution is imperative. We plan staff, production and delivery schedules in advance, perform site visits, coordinate set-up logistics with you and other suppliers, determine and arrange your rental needs, design your food tables, table layouts and plate presentations, brief kitchen and wait staff, consult on bar requirements and advise you on menu and agenda options. Your event coordination covers the “behind the scenes” duties critical to providing flawless catering.
