Frequently Asked Questions

Every detail matters when planning your event. Browse our FAQs below, or feel free to connect with us directly for additional support.

  • Absolutely! Once we have prepared a proposal for your event that you are comfortable with, we can schedule a complimentary tasting.

  • In order to secure your event, PEJ Events must be in receipt of a signed contract and 50% deposit specified on your proposal.

  • While all events and venues have different requirements, at a minimum, PEJ Events staff will arrive on-site 1.5 hours prior to the event start time. Other factors such as venue, menu, and guest count may affect this time.

  • While it’s not a requirement, PEJ Events does strongly encourage our clients to retain the services of an event planner or coordinator to ensure that all aspects of your event run smoothly.

  • As a full service caterer, we strive to provide assistance in as many aspects as possible. However, event decor is not in our realm of expertise. For this reason, we recommend utilizing a coordination service, family members, or friends to assist with decor.

  • Food that is not provided to your guests from PEJ Events must be labeled clearly to state where the food has come from. Due to health and liability concerns, any food provided by an entity other than PEJ Events must remain separate from PEJ Events food, and PEJ Events staff is not permitted to handle or replenish any food that was not prepared by our culinary team.

  • In order to ensure that your guests experience the same quality and presentation of food, PEJ Events prepares a small percent of overage for each event at our expense. For the safety of you and your guests, we are not able to leave leftover food.

  • PEJ Events does not charge an automatic gratuity. Gratuity is at the discretion of the client and we are happy to provide guidance in this area.

  • In the event of a cancellation prior to 90 days of the event date, 50% of the deposit will be refunded. In the event of cancellation within 90 days of the event date, the deposit will be forfeited.
