Booking Terms
Effective October 12, 2026. These are The Private Feast’s booking policies. Detailed booking terms and the agreed scope of your experience are provided with each personalized proposal. These policies do not limit rights provided by applicable law.
Your proposal & booking
Submitting an inquiry does not confirm a booking. Your personalized proposal defines the menu, guest count, location, service and price. A date is secured once the proposal and booking terms are accepted and the required deposit is received.
Deposit & final payment
A 30% non-refundable deposit is required to secure the event date. The remaining balance is due 7 days before the event.
Cancellation & rescheduling
Cancellations made more than 14 days before the event may have the deposit applied once toward a rescheduled date, subject to availability. Cancellations within 14 days are non-refundable.
Guest count & menu changes
Final guest count, dietary requirements and major menu changes must be confirmed at least 7 days before the event.
Special purchases & additional expenses
Custom ingredients, specialty products, rentals, staffing and other non-recoverable expenses may be charged separately and may be non-refundable once purchased. Your proposal identifies the agreed service and any planned additions.
Dietary & allergy disclosure
Please disclose all allergies and dietary requirements during menu planning and confirm final requirements at least 7 days before the event. Accommodations are discussed for the specific menu and kitchen; an allergen-free environment cannot be guaranteed.
Travel & service scope
Private chef experiences in South Lake Tahoe and surrounding areas. Exact address, seasonal road conditions, date and any travel charge confirmed in the proposal. Accessibility is assessed from the event address; winter and mountain conditions may limit travel. Minimums and travel fees may apply. Kitchen equipment, tableware, staffing and any enhancements are agreed in the proposal. Beverage service is not automatically included and can be coordinated only where appropriate and legally permitted.
