Frequently Asked Questions: 

HOW DOES THIS WORK?  

When you hire Meals & Gatherings for your special event or dine-at-home services, one of our Chefs will be in touch to create a custom quote. This price includes our back-end costs, menu development, groceries, preparation, execution of menu, and cleaning. A 50% deposit for the event will be due in order to officially book your date and time. You will work closely with your Chef to ensure all details and expectations are in place. On the day of your event, the chef will bring all the necessary equipment and mise en place to the location and deliver an amazing dining experience. The chef will clean the kitchen just before leaving and you will receive an invoice following the event, with the option to include gratuity.

HOW MUCH DO YOUR SERVICES COST?

Meals & Gatherings offer a variety of services at different pricing tiers depending on a client’s needs and specifications. Private events, dinners, (lunch/brunch) begin at $75 per guest; which includes a uniquely personalized menu, the shopping, preparation, and transferring of ingredients to the event, execution of a specified menu, and a kitchen cleanup following the service. The menu, number of courses, cost of ingredients, and distance to location will all play a factor into the final cost per person.

WHO ARE YOUR EMPLOYEES?

Meals & Gatherings is a hard-working and dedicated group of Chefs and Hospitality Service workers, from tourist-driven Las Vegas, that have been hit extremely hard with the Pandemic and the extended Restaurant and Resort closures and restrictions. Chef Creon, himself was an Executive Chef with MGM Resorts. When the shutdown happened, he got to work trying to find a way to continue to bring his delicious recipes and fantastic dining experiences to hungry guests. We thought it was going to last two weeks, that turned into two months, that turned into six months and now more. Understanding the comfort level of the public and where people are at, we have teamed up with some of the best employees on the strip: Chefs, Sommeliers, and Servers to bring people the high-end, restaurant-quality food experiences they have been missing in the safety of their own homes.

HOW LONG DO YOUR EVENTS/SERVICES USUALLY LAST?

Meals & Gatherings staff will often arrive at an event site an hour or more prior to the starting time. Most courses will be prepped out and ready to fire. Depending on the number of courses and guests attending, dinner services run approximately 1:30 to 2:00 hours. Including set-up and clean-up, we are usually on-site for a total of 4-5 hours.

CAN YOU PROVIDE MENU SAMPLES?

At Meals & Gatherings we have a regional menu with classics from several different cuisines, this menu can often times acts as a starting point for your meal. We are happy to cater to your preferences and can truly offer a menu for every occasion, including tried & true recipes. However, our menus are just a starting point, our real value is in our ability to create customized menus that fit the exact mood you are trying to create! . We encourage potential clients to view our Instagram page to get an idea of the type of food we create. We do everything from handmade pasta to seven-course tasting menus and want nothing more than to make your event as memorable as possible.

DO YOU CATER TO ALLERGIES AND/OR DIETARY PREFERENCES?
