To the discretion of SOUL WITH SKYLAR, a tasting can be provided for two guests, this is also a time for planning, question and answers. There is one tasting per booking. Additional tastings will result in additional fees.

To ensure the success of your event it is necessary to receive your “Final Guarantee” (confirmed attendance/RSVP count) for each meal function 1 week prior to the scheduled event. Please note this excludes weekends and holidays. Once the contract is signed, the guest count may not be decreased only increased.  The client will be billed based on the Final Guarantee or the actual number of meals served whichever is greater. We will make every attempt to accommodate increases in your count after the Final Guarantee is due however, any increase exceeding 10% of the Final Guarantee will be subject to a 10% surcharge. If the count increases within the Final Guarantee timeline, the 10% overage will no longer apply.
