Common questions
How far in advance should I contact Great Events Catering to secure my event date?
Contact them as soon as your event date is confirmed. Since they operate during standard business hours (Monday-Friday, 8 AM-5 PM), calling +1 403-256-7150 early gives you the best availability. Most catering services require 2-4 weeks notice for smaller events and significantly more for larger gatherings, so clarify their specific lead time requirements during your initial consultation.
Can Great Events Catering accommodate dietary restrictions and special menu requests?
This is essential to discuss directly with their team, as menu flexibility varies by vendor. Contact them to discuss your guest's dietary needs (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, allergies, cultural requirements) and whether they offer custom menu planning or set packages. Most professional catering services can accommodate restrictions with advance notice.
What is typically included in their catering package—just food, or also service staff and rentals?
Catering packages vary widely in what's included. You'll need to clarify whether their pricing covers food preparation only, or if it includes servers, bartenders, linens, dishware, and cleanup. Understanding these details prevents budget surprises and helps you identify what additional vendors you may need to hire separately.
Are there seasonal menu options or do they work year-round?
Since they're based in Calgary, seasonal ingredient availability and menu offerings may vary throughout the year. Ask about their current menu options, whether they offer seasonal specials, and if they can create custom menus tailored to your event's theme or season. This affects both cost and the dining experience you can offer guests.
How do they handle food delivery and setup for off-site events?
Confirm their service area within Calgary and surrounding regions, delivery fees, setup procedures, and equipment they provide versus what you need to arrange. Understanding their logistics helps coordinate timing with your venue and other vendors, especially if your event is at a location without commercial kitchen facilities.
What's the process for tastings and finalizing the menu before my event?
Ask if they offer tasting sessions, how many menu options you can sample, and when tastings typically occur relative to your event date. Understanding their menu finalization process ensures you have time to make decisions and communicate final headcounts and dietary changes as your guest list evolves.
