Common questions
How much experience does Diane Gordon Catering have with events similar to mine?
With 28 years in New York's catering industry and notable clients including Apple and HBO, they have extensive experience across corporate, wedding, and private event sectors. Their longevity suggests they've managed diverse event types and scales, though you should request specific portfolio examples matching your event size and style.
What makes their approach different from other caterers?
They emphasize integrating food with elegant design and prioritize sustainability practices, meaning they likely offer curated menus using quality ingredients and thoughtful presentation rather than generic catering options. This integrated approach can streamline planning if you want design and food cohesion.
Will Diane Gordon Catering handle all staffing and logistics on event day?
This needs clarification before booking. Confirm whether their services include full staffing (servers, bartenders, kitchen crew), equipment setup, cleanup, and timeline management, or if these require separate vendor coordination.
Can they accommodate dietary restrictions and customized menus?
Given their emphasis on personal service and high-profile clientele, they likely offer customization, but you should discuss your specific dietary needs, cuisine preferences, and any special requests directly. Ask about their flexibility with non-standard requests and timeline for menu tastings.
What is the typical cost range, and what does it include?
Pricing requires direct contact, which is typical for high-end caterers whose costs vary significantly by guest count, menu complexity, service level, and event logistics. When requesting quotes, ask for itemized pricing to understand what's bundled versus à la carte.
How far in advance should I book, and what is their availability?
With 28 years of reputation, they likely have seasonal demand patterns. Contact them early (6-12 months for weddings, 2-3 months for corporate events) to confirm availability and understand their booking process, cancellation policies, and deposit requirements.
