We will confirm receipt and booking of your event request by accepting your MS Outlook meeting invitation.

Service Types

We offer three levels of service to meet your budget and event needs. Our menus are designed for specific levels of service. Please review these service types before placing your order.

Order Follow-Up

We will review your order and contact you by email or phone if we have any questions or require more information to complete the order.

Upon request, we will confirm your event details by emailing you your menu and cost estimate confirmation.

Please contact us five days prior to your event to confirm your minimum guest count guarantee and give us your final guest count three days prior to your event.

Orders left on voicemail, received by email, or faxed to the office outside of business hours or on weekends will be considered received on the next business day. If you do not get a confirmation within 24 hours, please reach out to us.

Special Orders

Requests for specialty foods and beverages will be honored when possible. The client will be required to purchase specialty items at the vendor’s minimum amount.

There will be no refund for any specially ordered products not used at an event. The products may remain the property of Tufts Catering.
