Planner's guide

Best For: Corporate lunches and business events, intimate dinner parties (20-75 guests), family celebrations and milestone events, small-to-medium weddings with personalized menus

What planners usually like:

  • Creative menu customization allows you to differentiate your event from standard catering options and reflect specific themes or dietary preferences
  • Weekday availability (Monday-Friday) makes them reliable for corporate events and mid-week celebrations when other vendors may have limited capacity
  • Direct communication with the team during business hours enables quick decision-making and menu adjustments without lengthy email chains
  • Quality-focused approach means less time spent on vendor management and more confidence in food presentation and taste

Things to clarify before booking:

  • Confirm minimum guest count requirements and whether pricing scales differently for groups under 25 vs. 50+ guests
  • Discuss whether they provide service staff, table setup, and rentals, or if you need to coordinate these separately with other vendors
  • Verify lead time needed for orders—particularly important for specialized menus or ingredient sourcing in Guadalajara
  • Ask about their capacity for simultaneous events and whether your preferred date/time is available 3-6 months in advance

Common questions

How far in advance should I contact Carlota Catering to secure my event date?

For most events, reaching out 4-6 weeks in advance is practical, though larger or more specialized events may benefit from 8-12 weeks' notice. Since they operate Monday-Friday only, calling during business hours (+52 33 3385 6699) gives you immediate confirmation of availability rather than waiting for email responses.

What does "cocina creativa" mean for my menu options, and how customizable are their offerings?

The "creative cuisine" focus indicates they work beyond standard catering menus to develop custom dishes based on your preferences, theme, and guest preferences. You should expect a consultation to discuss flavor profiles, ingredient preferences, and dietary needs rather than selecting from a fixed set of options.

Do they handle setup, service, and cleanup, or is that separate from catering costs?

This is critical to clarify before booking. Ask specifically whether their pricing includes food only, or if it encompasses service staff, table setup, rentals (plates, utensils, glassware), and cleanup. Many Guadalajara caterers quote food costs separately from service, which significantly affects your total budget.

Are they equipped to handle dietary restrictions and allergies?

Given their emphasis on quality ingredients and thoughtful planning, they likely accommodate common restrictions (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free). However, confirm their protocols for preventing cross-contamination and ask for written documentation of ingredients, especially if guests have severe allergies.

What's the typical pricing range, and are there package options?

Since pricing is custom-quoted, request a proposal for your specific guest count and menu style. Ask whether they offer tiered packages (appetizer-only vs. full service, plated vs. buffet) or if every event is priced individually based on ingredients and service level.

Can they accommodate events outside their listed Monday-Friday hours?

Weekend events (Saturday-Sunday) are not listed in their regular hours, so specifically ask if they can take special weekend bookings or if they only operate for weekday events. This directly impacts your options for Saturday weddings or Sunday family gatherings.
