Description

Dear Jessica!
I am “pleased as punch” that you have chosen Get in the Kitchen! to host your party! We know we can
create an event that will be a lip smacking good time for all! I am happy to furnish this proposal for your
review and comments.
Date: August 24th
, 2023 6p-9p. Please plan to start on time. If the party goes over the allotted time
period by more than 30 minutes due to guest lateness, charges will start to incur at the rate of $100 per
hour and will not be prorated. These charges will be due upon completion of the party. These charges
will not incur if the lateness is due to any fault of Get in the Kitchen and its staff.
Price is $89 per person for the Small Plates Party. This party is subject to a minimum of $1,200. A 50%
deposit is required to reserve the date and time, and full payment is due 7 days before the event. See
next section for details on refunds. Pricing includes all food items, instruction and applicable taxes.
Pricing does not include any extra beverages, entertainment and optional gratuity. See below for
information on wine & Alcohol, other beverages, entertainment and gratuity.
Deposit and Payment: 50% deposit is refundable up to 90 days prior to the event. After that, please see
refund policy below for terms. The deposit will be $773.07 based on the estimate of 14 people, the Wine
package and 15% gratuity.
Full payment is due 7 days before the event. Full payment will be based on final guest count and will be
non-refundable. Should you want to add more people to the event after final payment is made, full
payment for all add-ons is to be paid before event commences. No refunds will be given for any guests
who have been paid for and are unable to attend for any reason.
Refund Policy: Fully refundable up to 90 days before the event. After that, your deposit is nonrefundable. ANY CANCELLATIONS WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE EVENT ARE NON-REFUNDABLE AND FULL
PARTY PAYMENT PLUS ANY ENTERTAINMENT COSTS WILL BE REQUIRED AS WE WILL NOT HAVE TIME TO
MARKET AND FILL THE TIME. HOWEVER, YOU CAN SUBSTITUTE UP TO AS MANY GUESTS THAT HAVE
BEEN PAID IN FULL FOR THE TIME SLOT.
COVID & OTHER UNFORSEEN PUBLIC HEALTH EVENTS REFUND POLICY
If we are shut down due to COVID or any other governmental public health restrictions applied to the
City of Chicago prior to 14 days out, we will issue a full refund of your deposit. If we are shut down due
to Covid Restrictions or any other governmental public health restrictions applied to the City of Chicago
within 14 days of your event, we will offer a 50% refund of any monies paid and 50% credit towards any
cooking party, merchandise in the store or public cooking party. This is because we start to incur costs
within 14 days of any event.
PROPOSED MENU
Small Plates Party
During the party, you will be treated to a signature cocktail or mocktail of your choice and be taught
how to make 3 appetizers of your choice! We will allow one substitution per small plate for dietary
restrictions. If there are multiple restrictions requiring multiple substitutions to any of the small plates,
additional charges may apply. These charges will be $25 per substitution over one (1) and would not be
included in the minimum for the party. Substitutions refer to the amount of restrictions and not the
amount of people needing them. I.e. if two people require a vegetarian meal, this would count as 1
substitution.
In addition, you will choose a signature cocktail/mocktail of the evening. The cocktail will be premade,
but we will show you how to make the simple syrup and create an ice cream, shake or sorbet dessert
out of it. The final menu and cocktail will be chosen at least 1 week prior to the event.
Entertainment:
If you decide on any other entertainment, additional deposits equal to half of the cost for the
entertainer will be due at time and the pricing for additional entertainment will be as follows:
Entertainment:
• Comedian: $150
• Magician: $350
• Pianist: $550
• Drag Queen: $175
• Karaoke DJ Host Premium Package (includes lighting and effects) $350
• Drag Queen Karaoke DJ Host Basic Package $175
• Karaoke DJ Host Basic Package $175
• Dancing Lessons: $200
• Custom or General Trivia & Games: $75
Beverages: This party comes with a signature cocktail and Mocktail. The cocktail will be chosen at least 2
weeks prior to the event and will be enough for 1-2 cocktails per person.
Wine & Spirits: We will include 3 bottles of our Sauvignon Blanc, 2 bottles of our Pinot Grigio, 3 Bottles
of our Pinot Noir and 2 Bottles of our Red Blend for a total of $213.24 including state and city taxes.
Soft drinks: We will provide 1 bottle of Soda for every 10 guests free of charge. We will also provide
infused water as needed.
Cakes and outside Foods:
You are welcome to bring a cake or any other already prepared and cooked foods that have been
prepared in a facility monitored by the Chicago Department of Health into the facility.
Gratuity
You have asked us to add a 15% gratuity on the cost of the Party. The estimated gratuity has come to
$186.90 based on 14 people. Since Gratuity is optional, you can direct us to remove this from the final
bill or base it on the final headcount.
This Proposal will convert to a Contract upon the payment of your deposit or submission of credit card
to secure the date. Please sign below and return to Get in the Kitchen! upon the submission of your
deposit or credit card information.
I am looking forward to hearing your feedback on our proposal and solidifying your event! Please get
back to me with any questions!
