TASTING POLICY

Stonehouse Catering offers tastings for two reasons: 

  1. Meet face to face with your event coordinator who will walk you through the planning process

  2. Gain confidence in our chef's abilities in flavor composition, seasoning and presentation. 

  3. Taste our specialties so you can make the best decision possible when moving forward with your wedding menu decision. 


What to Expect 

Our wedding tastings consist of a salad, two to three main course options, a side and a vegetable. For your main courses, please choose from:

Beef
Chicken
Fish
Plant Based

If there is something specifically important for you to try at your tasting, please let us know so we can do our best to incorporate it into your tasting menu. 

Cost & Policies

For events totaling $7,000 or more, your first tasting is free. Private tastings cost $400 and include a custom chef-prepared meal, chef and event coordinator attendance, and a one-hour seating for up to six guests. These are available only on Tuesday evenings and must be scheduled at least two weeks in advance.

Tastings are intended for serious clients, as they cost our company $400 in staff time, planning, and ingredients. Cancellations within 48 hours or late arrivals (over 10 minutes) may result in a fee and no rescheduling. Please arrive five minutes early for the best experience.

Second tastings require a signed contract and deposit, with a minimum cost of $300 plus ingredients. Custom dessert tastings are priced based on pastry chef time and ingredients. We charge only to cover costs and do not profit from tastings.

Our Executive Chef, Adam Johnson, trained at Le Cordon Bleu and has over 20 years of experience at renowned restaurants like Kincaid’s, Mancini’s, and Public in St. Paul. His scratch-made recipes range from American comfort food to Asian fusion.

You can also experience our cuisine at Stone & Oak. Let us know if you plan to visit so our event coordinator can greet you and answer any questions.
