Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our catering services, booking process, menus, event setup, and everything in between.
Booking & Process
How do I book an event?
Start through the HLC Booking Wizard and provide your event type, guest count, menu selections, presentation choice, add-ons or services, and contact/event information. After submission, HLC reviews the request and confirms availability and final details.
Does submitting the Booking Wizard confirm my event?
No. Submission means HLC has received your booking request. The event becomes confirmed only after HLC reviews the details, confirms availability, and any required confirmation or payment conditions are completed.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend submitting your request as early as possible, particularly for weddings, large events, Ramadan, Eid, holidays, and other high-demand dates. Availability is confirmed after HLC reviews your requested date and services.
What is the minimum number of guests?
Minimum guest requirements may vary by event type, menu, and service configuration. The Booking Wizard applies the applicable guest rules during the booking process.
Pricing & Payment
How is my event price calculated?
Pricing is based on the event details and selections made through the HLC booking system, including the applicable menu, guest count, presentation, and selected services or add-ons. The Booking Wizard may display an estimated total, while final pricing remains subject to HLC review and confirmation.
How are servers priced?
Where server service is selected, the approved booking logic calculates it by quantity and hours at $40 per server per hour.
What payment methods do you accept?
The final payment methods and deposit workflow should be confirmed through the quotation, invoice, booking confirmation, or direct communication with HLC. This FAQ should not display unapproved payment methods.
Delivery & Setup
Do you provide setup and service staff?
HLC can provide event setup and service options according to the selected event and booking configuration. Available staffing and related services are selected or confirmed through the booking process.
Are Hospitality Stations available?
Yes. HLC uses Hospitality Stations as part of its event presentation options. Availability and whether a station is included or optional may depend on event type, guest count, presentation selection, and the final booking configuration.
Do you offer equipment rental?
Equipment rental is part of HLC's service offering where available. The exact equipment, quantities, availability, and applicable charges should be confirmed for the individual event.
Is delivery included in the price?
Delivery treatment depends on the event location and confirmed service arrangement. Any applicable delivery or service charge should be shown or confirmed before the booking is finalized.
Policies & Cancellation
What is your cancellation and refund policy?
Cancellation, rescheduling, deposits, non-refundable costs, and refund eligibility are governed by the HLC Cancellation & Refund Policy and any event-specific terms shown in the confirmed quotation, invoice, or written agreement.
Can I change my guest count, menu, or services after submitting?
Changes may be requested, but approval and any price adjustment depend on the timing of the request, availability, and whether HLC has already incurred costs or commitments for the event.
Events & Service Area
What types of events do you cater?
HLC provides catering for a range of events, including weddings, corporate and embassy events, private events, and seasonal occasions such as Ramadan and Eid, subject to availability and the selected service.
What areas do you serve?
HLC is based in Delaware. The final service area for a specific event should be confirmed based on the event location, logistics, and service requirements. The website should not publish an unverified fixed number of states.
