Frequently Asked Questions
- How far in advance should I book Arista Catering for my Seattle event?**
- Most full-service caterers in Seattle recommend booking 4-8 weeks ahead for weekend events and 2-4 weeks for weekday events, though availability varies by season. Contact Arista directly at +1 206-250-5143 to confirm their booking window and whether your event date is available, especially if planning during peak wedding season (May-October). **
- What's typically included in the catering price, and what costs extra?**
- Catering pricing usually includes food, basic table service, and setup, but additional costs often apply for bar service, premium rentals (linens, plates, glassware), service staff gratuity, and travel fees to distant venues. Request an itemized proposal from Arista that clearly separates base catering costs from ancillary services so you can budget accurately. **
- Can Arista Catering accommodate dietary restrictions and food allergies?**
- Reputable Seattle caterers typically manage common allergies and dietary needs (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, kosher) but require advance notice during menu planning. Discuss your guest list's specific dietary requirements with Arista early in the process and ask for their kitchen protocols to ensure safe food handling. **
- Do they provide service staff, or do I need to hire servers separately?**
- Full-service caterers typically include staff as part of their package, though the number of servers and service level may vary based on event type and package selected. Confirm with Arista whether their quote includes service personnel, what the staff-to-guest ratio is, and whether they can provide bartenders or specialized service for your event style. **
- What if I want to do a menu tasting before committing to a large event?**
- Many Seattle caterers offer paid tastings (usually $15-50 per person, sometimes credited toward your final bill) to help you evaluate food quality and customize selections. Contact Arista to ask about their tasting process, whether they offer virtual menu consultations, and how much advance notice they need to schedule a tasting appointment. **
- How do I know if Arista can service my specific venue, and are there additional travel fees?**
- Caterers sometimes have venue restrictions based on kitchen access, parking, or delivery limitations, and many charge travel or delivery fees for venues outside their primary service area. Provide Arista with your venue's address and details when inquiring, and ask explicitly about any distance-based fees or restrictions that might affect your total catering cost.
