The Process

How It Works

01

The Inquiry

Tell us about your event — the occasion, the guest count, the venue, and any vision you have. There are no wrong answers at this stage. We want to understand what you're hoping to create.

02

The Conversation

Chef McKenna will reach out personally to discuss your event in detail. This is where the menu begins to take shape — informed by the season, your guests, and the spirit of the occasion.

03

The Proposal

You'll receive a detailed proposal: a custom menu, staffing plan, and investment outline. Everything is bespoke — no packages, no templates, no shortcuts.

04

The Evening

On the day, Leslie and her team arrive early, work quietly, and leave nothing to chance. Your only task is to be present with your guests.
