Typically, our Saturday dates start booking about 15 months in advance, so you should confirm your date as soon as possible.

For a catered event, what is the difference between drop off and full service?
When you order drop off service, we will deliver your food about 30 minutes before your scheduled eating time. All food is delivered in disposable containers and transported in a heated and refrigerated truck. Drop off service does not include warmers. Stainless steel chafing dishes and sternos can be rented for an additional $75 per unit, which includes buffet set up. The client is responsible for returning all non-disposable items to Maravela's the next day. You can also purchase disposable warming racks with hot water pans and sternos for $7.00 per set and our drivers will set them up for you. If you choose full service, the cost is 20% of the total food order. Full service includes friendly, uniformed servers (approximately one per 40 guests), stainless steel chafing dishes and servingware, set up and clean up of buffet area and bussing of tables. Usually, the servers work a four hour shift. Additional charges may apply for longer shifts (sit down service and family style are extra).
