Planning an event, whether it’s your dream wedding, a milestone celebration, or a corporate gathering, can feel overwhelming. At 410 Hospitality, we believe the process should feel exciting, not stressful. That’s why we encourage potential clients to ask the right questions early on, so we can tailor every detail to your vision, budget, and style.

If you’re considering working with us, here are some essential questions to ask during your consultation:

1. What services do you provide beyond catering?
At 410 Hospitality, we offer much more than exceptional food. We provide full-service event planning, staffing, rentals coordination, and setup/breakdown. Asking this early helps you understand how much support you’ll have, and how seamlessly we can bring your vision to life.

2. Can you help us build a custom menu?
Absolutely. We specialize in personalized menus that reflect your tastes, event theme, and seasonal availability. Whether you’re looking for a farm-to-table summer menu, elevated comfort food, or elegant plated courses, we’ll collaborate with you to make it feel unique and unforgettable.

3. What do your packages typically include?
Ask for a breakdown of what’s included in your quote: food, service staff, bar service, rentals, taxes, and gratuities. We’re transparent about pricing and will help you find the best options within your budget, without sacrificing quality.

4. Do you accommodate dietary restrictions and special requests?
From gluten-free and vegan options to cultural or religious preferences, we’re experienced in designing inclusive menus that ensure every guest feels considered and cared for.

5. How do you handle day-of coordination and timing?
Understanding how we manage event flow, when the food comes out, how courses are paced, or when staff transitions happen, gives you peace of mind. We work behind the scenes so your event feels effortless.

6. Have you worked at our venue before?
If your venue is local to the Capital Region, there’s a good chance we have. But if not, we’ll coordinate with them directly to ensure the logistics, layout, and service run smoothly.

7. How early should we book?
For peak seasons (May–October), we recommend booking 6–12 months in advance. Last-minute dates may still be available, so don’t hesitate to ask, we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

Final Tip:

Don’t be afraid to share your vision, even if it’s still forming. The more you tell us, the better we can design an experience that’s truly yours.
