Menu Selection & Pricing Our pre-priced menu packages on this web-site are subject to change.  Menu items from different packages may be mixed and customized.  The price includes all of the services (etc.) listed with each menu guide.  Prices for menu variations, outdoor events, distant locations or additional services will be provided upon request.   Our pricing is based on a number of factors including menu items selected, length of service provided and number of guests attending your affair.
