Types of Catering

1.	Ala Carte: This menu contains food items that are priced individually and ready to serve. They can be picked up at our location in Hellertown, PA or they can be delivered for a minimum charge of $20.00. All items can be prepared in quantities above the minimum amounts stated in the menu. Prices do not include sales tax.
2.	Package Plans: Banquet, Sit-Down and BBQ Menus feature combinations of foods and are priced to include set-up, serving and clean-up. The client can make food selections within these package plan guidelines. Prices do not include sales tax or gratuity.
3.	Custom Catering: Off premise catered events in residences and other locations contain many variables that can effect the pricing and service of the event. If you wish, Gala Gourmet Catering LLC will provide all staffing, food and rental needs for your event and will create an exact proposal and price quote that reflects the details of your event.

	Use the menus as a guide to selecting food choices that you want to serve at your event.
	All foods will be priced and prepared for the exact number of guests.
	Staffing and Service charges will depend on the guest count, the style of service that you desire, location of your event, length of the event and quantity of food that you wish to serve. These costs vary and will be determined once all the variables are known. We provide uniformed wait staff, bartenders and on-site chefs to staff events as required.
	Equipment Rentals vary depending on the style of service and desires of the client. Minimal serving tables and serving equipment are provided free of charge. Beyond these basics there are many possibilities for rental needs. Often, the client has some or all of the equipment needed for the event. All of these needs will be discussed with the client and determined.
	The cost of utensils, plates and napkins are not included in the food costs. Some clients wish to provide these or they can be purchased or rented. High quality disposable plastic and paper goods if appropriate can be provided.
	Decorations such as colored linens, floral arrangements and table props all add to the appeal of a catered event. We strive to create a beautiful display for you and your guests to enjoy and there are many options for decoration.
