PROPOSAL — Gold Epicure

01

Start with your event.

Count adult guests, children and vendors separately so each meal and service can be planned correctly. Not every detail has to be decided today.

02

Set the rhythm.

From the first bite to the final cleanup, tell us how you want the event to flow. Service style and coverage are separate choices.

Full service is a defined scope. Cooking, table setting, serving, bussing and cleanup are confirmed in your reviewed proposal. Room flips, resets, extra service windows and late load-out can require additional staff. Staff coverage includes the agreed breakdown and cleanup time.

Staffing plan and hours

Our planning rate is $38 per person per hour ($304 for 8 hours). Full service starts with 2 setup hours, your event window (5 hours if undecided), and 1 breakdown hour. Guest service scales at 1 per 15 for buffet and 1 per 10 for family-style or plated service. The kitchen allowance also grows above 200 guest and vendor meals. Review a Gold-provided plan below.

03

Make the menu yours.

Seasonal ingredients, fire-kissed vegetables and Texas meats form the starting point. These are inspirations; recipes, availability and dietary suitability are confirmed with the chef.

04

First bites. Last bites.

Build the moments around dinner: passed bites, a welcoming station, a sweet finish or something for the dance floor. Guest coverage and portions are confirmed separately.

05

Every guest considered.

These counts include guest and vendor meals and may overlap. A guest can be both vegan and gluten-free. Share allergies and preparation needs so the team can confirm a workable plan.

06

Raise a glass.

Plan one seamless beverage experience, or distinct service phases. Alcohol purchasing, permits and venue rules are confirmed individually; alcohol is excluded from this estimate.

Starting bases: one bar setup $400, plus bar materials $18 per adult beverage-service guest (ingredients for up to 2 signature cocktails, napkins, water, ice, Coke, Sprite and sparkling water). Selected bartender labor is calculated separately at $38 per person per hour. Additional bar setups are $400 each. Alcohol and custom beverages are quoted separately.

07

Bring the table together.

Tell us what Gold Epicure should provide and what is coming from your venue, planner or rental company. Choose reusable tableware or a compostable dinner set.

08

A beautiful plan needs a place.

Venue details shape the live-fire setup, crew, travel and production price. “To confirm” is welcome; we will coordinate the remaining requirements with the appropriate contact.

Live fire requires an approved location and weather plan. Grills must remain in their approved cooking position once fires are lit. Permission, safe access, rain cover, facility fees and venue-mandated duties are reviewed before approval.

09

Plan with confidence.

Choose how we connect. In-person venue walkthroughs are $400 per visit; Zoom walkthroughs are complimentary when the venue allows them. Tastings are $75 per taster. When you book, fees for up to 3 tasters may be credited according to your written offer; each eligible credit is confirmed and applied once.

Complete custom pricing and extra charges

Use amounts provided for this event to complete the estimate. Leave undecided costs blank for Gold to review. Avoid entering a charge already included above.

Let’s make it happen.

Add the people who will plan, approve and pay. Your choices become one complete brief for our team to review before we issue the final HoneyBook proposal and agreement.

Before you request a proposal.

This is a preliminary planning estimate. The priced selections subtotal includes the travel base shown and 12% coordination on all currently priced charges before tax. It is not your full event total. The calculated catering team and selected bartenders are included. Unpriced premium selections, children’s meals, travel adjustments and venue/production charges are reviewed separately and also receive 12% coordination. Applicable tax is additional.
Each in-person venue walkthrough is $400. Zoom venue walkthroughs are complimentary. A venue-required in-person visit is charged at the same $400 per-visit rate.
Final menus, dietary preparation and allergy/cross-contact arrangements are confirmed with the chef. Live-fire cooking depends on venue permission, an approved location and a workable weather plan.
Sending a request does not reserve your date. Availability, final scope, retainer, payment dates, menu and guest-count deadlines, changes, cancellation and rescheduling are confirmed in the approved proposal and signed agreement.
Existing written commitments and approved exceptions are reviewed individually. Tasting credits, discounts and complimentary services are not applied automatically.

I understand this is a preliminary estimate and a request for review, and I acknowledge the $400 per-visit in-person walkthrough / complimentary Zoom policy.
