Why can't I find pricing on your website?
Our pricing is based on the guest count, menu selections, and the style of food service. We love to customize menus for our clients and can provide a wide variety of ethnic cuisines! Styles of food service include Delivery & Setup, Appetizer Party, Buffet, Plated or Family-Style.
What is the delivery & setup fee?
It depends on the size of the delivery and setup needs. Some events require more catering equipment or rental setup; the average range is $50 to $80 if the event takes place within 30 minutes of our facility in Martinez.
Please ask us about travel fees if your event is further than 30 minutes from our facility.
Do you provide bar services?
We DO NOT provide bar service, but we can refer you to some great bartenders we've worked with. Check out our VENDORS tab. Alcohol and alcohol service is entirely the responsibility of the client.
How far in advance do I need to book?
We can cater multiple events every day, so the odds are in your favor that we won't book up before you get the chance to reserve our services. We typically require a minimum of 14 business days (Mon-Fri) to prepare for any last-minute needs.
When do I need to give you the final guest count?
We will have a highlighted due date on your contract. For most events - the due date is 14 business days before the event. For last minute events, it just depends on the date you have reserved our services and the date of the event.
Can we taste the foods before we reserve your services?
We offer private tastings on Tuesdays at 12:00pm at our facility, 3840 Alhambra Ave, Martinez Ca 94553. We book by appointment only. The average tasting lasts approximately 1 hour, and we provide full-sized portions. The cost is $50.00 per guest, and we have 6 seats in our showroom. Please email us at info@wilmalottcatering.com to book your tasting.
Can you accommodate special dietary needs?
Yes. Please let us know how we can assist you. (Gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free, etc..) However, we do not label ourselves as a Celiac Safe facility.
Are you a Kosher Caterer?
We can purchase meats prepared by a Kosher butcher; however, we do not have a Kosher kitchen. If this is a necessity, we can prepare foods on-site in a Temple's Kosher Kitchen; please inquire.
Do you provide Wedding Cakes?
We do not provide elaborate cakes for events. Our cakes are extremely tasty but simple (no fondant or fancy decorations). We receive more requests for our mini cupcakes and finger-food style desserts, but if you have any questions about desserts please ask.
Do you rent tables, chairs, linens, heaters, etc...?
We are not currently offering rental items. Please check out our highly recommended company, Chairs for Affairs in Concord for all rental needs.
Do you charge a service fee?
Yes, we charge a 20% service fee for all catered events that require our professional staff. We don’t charge a fee for cake cutting and plating.
Is there a minimum in order to provide delivery?
Yes, there is 25 guest minimum. We only provide delivery and setup of full meals or multiple platters of deliverable appetizers. We always offer free pick-up of items from our facility for no additional fee, as long as we are available at the requested time and date of pick-up.
