A menu built around your guests and an itemised quote — food, staffing, rentals, service charge and the correct jurisdiction's tax.
Tastings available for full-service events. A deposit holds the date; the balance is due the week of.
The team arrives ahead of schedule, sets, serves, replenishes and breaks down. You host. We handle the kitchen.
Saturdays in May, June, October and December book first. The more you tell us now, the faster the quote comes back.
Weddings: nine to twelve months. Corporate events: two to six months. Graduation parties: two to four months, and May and June fill early. Private celebrations: one to three months. December holiday parties should be locked by September. If your date is closer than that, ask anyway — cancellations happen.
Yes. Halal-sourced proteins are available across the whole menu, and Eden West runs dedicated Ramadan service — nightly Iftar drop-off packages through full Eid al-Fitr buffets. Tell us at inquiry so the sourcing is set from the start.
The District, all of Montgomery, Prince George's, Howard and Anne Arundel counties, and Northern Virginia through Loudoun. Travel catering beyond the DMV is quoted case by case — destination events are part of the business, not an exception to it.
Staffed buffets run one attendant per twenty guests. Plated service runs one server per fifteen. Bartenders are separate. Every full-service event has a captain on site who owns the timeline so the host does not have to.
Eden West is licensed and insured and carries a certificate of insurance for venues that require one — standard at mansion and county venues across Prince George's and Montgomery. Send the venue name at inquiry and we will confirm their outside-catering policy for you.
Service charge, sales tax, and any rentals beyond what the package lists — specialty linens, china upgrades, bars. Delivery beyond thirty miles is billed separately. Every quote itemises all of it; there is no line you find out about later.
