“TERMS & CONDITIONS”

All bookings are subject to availability. All events require a credit deposit to secure the reservation date. A booking is considered contingent upon the receipt of your credit card deposit. Happy Everything Catering does not provide alcohol service or serving staff of any kind. Alcohol related service and serving staff will be the sole responsibility of the customer. All menu items come completely garnished on disposable frames ready for service. All trays, pans, dishes, silverware, plates, etc. delivered can be simply disposed of after the customer's event. All items delivered are the property of the customer. The hot is delivered hot, and the cold is delivered cold. If it needs a spoon/tong it has a spoon/tong. Happy Everything Catering reserves the right to refuse events as we deem fit regardless of event date.
GUARANTEEING YOUR DATE - Required information for booking your date:

If the number attending falls below the GMNG, the original GMNG will be charged. Any increases to your GMNG are subject to Happy Everything Catering’s approval. However, we cannot guarantee availability of additional items as specified in the original order and will substitute accordingly. (SEE SUBSTITUTIONS)
