COCKTAIL PARTIES:
Suggested staffing for cocktail parties is based on serving hot and cold hors d’ oeuvres and a full bar.

BUFFETS:
The number of staff required for a buffet without a cocktail hour may be lower. All of our buffets are attended by our service staff to maintain the elegance of the presentation.

SEATED DINERS:
Staffing for seated dinners will vary depending upon the style of service, the nature of the menu, and the complexity of the wine service.

COST OF SERVICE:
Chef $150 per event
Assistant chef $125 per event
Captain $30 per hour (5 hour minimum)
Server/Bartender $25 per hour (5 hour minimum)
(Suggested tip for service staff is 20%)
These rates are standard for the New York metropolitan area.
