Questions

Before you ask.

How far ahead should I book?

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.

Booking & payment

A $500 deposit secures your date; the remaining balance can be paid over time and must be paid in full 14 days before the event. Both dates are on your written quote. (Agency purchase-card or invoice purchasing may have its own arrangement — mention it when you request a quote.) Minimum catering order: $1,000.

Is there a minimum order?

Yes — the minimum catering order is $1,000.

Do you serve halal?

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.

Where do you travel?

The District, all of Maryland and Delaware, and Northern Virginia through Loudoun. Travel catering beyond that area is quoted case by case.

How many staff come with the food?

Staffed buffet attendants, servers & bartenders are available upon request at an extra charge. Every full-service event has a catering captain on site who owns the timeline so the host does not have to.

Can you work with my venue?

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.

What is not included in the per-guest price?

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.
