Planner's guide
PART 1: PLANNER INSIGHT
Best For: Corporate lunch meetings and business events, Wedding receptions and rehearsal dinners, Private parties and celebration gatherings, Non-profit fundraisers and community events
What planners usually like:
- Direct communication with the catering team during business hours allows for real-time adjustments and clear expectation-setting before your event
- Local Denver location at 490 Decatur St means shorter delivery times and familiarity with the area's venue logistics
- Flexible approach to event planning indicates willingness to customize menu options and service styles based on your specific gathering size and budget constraints
- Streamlined ordering process through their website reduces back-and-forth coordination during the planning phase
Things to clarify before booking:
- Request detailed pricing breakdown including per-person costs, service fees, equipment rental (tables, linens, serving ware), and gratuity structure to accurately budget your event
- Confirm minimum guest count requirements, as many Denver catering companies have thresholds that affect pricing and availability
- Discuss staffing and service options—whether they provide servers, bartenders, setup/breakdown, and what's included versus what's an additional charge
- Verify their timeline for menu finalization and payment terms, especially if your event is during peak season (spring/summer weddings)
Common questions
Does Modern Catering accommodate dietary restrictions and food allergies?
Most Denver catering services handle common dietary needs, but you'll need to contact Modern Catering directly at +1 720-299-7638 to discuss your specific requirements. Provide detailed information about allergies, vegetarian/vegan preferences, gluten-free needs, or religious dietary restrictions early in the planning process so they can confirm feasibility and potentially adjust menu pricing.
What's the typical timeline for booking catering services with Modern Catering?
Denver catering companies typically require 2-4 weeks notice for standard events, though peak season (May-October) may require longer lead times. Contact Modern Catering during their business hours (Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM) to check availability for your specific date and discuss any rush booking fees.
Can Modern Catering work within a tight budget for a smaller gathering?
Since pricing is custom and contact-based, smaller events (under 25-50 guests) may have different structures. Call ahead to discuss your guest count and budget range—some catering companies adjust service levels or menu complexity for intimate gatherings rather than declining the business.
Do they handle setup, serving, and cleanup, or is that separate?
This varies significantly between catering vendors. You'll need to confirm whether Modern Catering includes setup/breakdown, serving staff, and equipment rental in their quoted price or if these are à la carte add-ons. Clarify what you're responsible for versus what they provide.
Can Modern Catering work with my venue's existing kitchen and equipment restrictions?
Denver venues have different capabilities—some allow full catering, while others have restrictions. Modern Catering's team has local experience and can likely work with your venue, but discuss any specific requirements or limitations when you call. They may charge differently depending on whether they're using an external kitchen or your venue's facilities.
What happens if I need to adjust guest count close to my event date?
Most catering companies require final headcount 5-7 days before the event. Ask Modern Catering about their specific policy for increases or decreases, whether there's a cancellation fee structure, and if last-minute changes affect pricing or service quality.
