  • Every Wanderlust dining experience is a unique event. Pricing is based on your choice of a 4 or 8-course menu and the number of guests. Experiences start with a minimum event spend of $1,200 +tax

  • Once a date is selected and I gather a bit of information, I follow up for a 50% non-refundable deposit to reserve the selected date. The balance will be paid the week before your event. The deposit can be sent via e-transfer or paid cash.

  • If you need to cancel and are unable to re-book we retain the deposit. Why is that? The team will have reserved their time in their already very busy schedule for your experience, which means that other business opportunities have been turned away for that day and time. If your intention is to re-book at a later date the deposit can be transferred to the new date. A minimum of 5 business days is appreciated prior to cancellation.

  • For parties of four or more, additional staff is essential to ensure a seamless and exceptional dining experience. These team members will assist throughout the evening, enhancing every aspect of your event. Please note that the inclusion of additional staff will incur an extra cost.

  • I will bring everything needed to prepare the food, but I may use any kitchen appliances you have available. All I ask is for a clean kitchen and fridge/freezer space upon my arrival.

  • Wanderlust is ideally suited for small intimate gatherings, with all hand selected plates and cutlery provided for up to 10 people. Have a larger group in mind? I would love to make it work for you. You are welcome to set the table with your own place settings, but if you prefer I can recommend rental companies to use.

  • I will gladly come to you! Additional travel charges will apply depending on your location.

  • You’re welcome to bring your own beverages (BYOB) and curate your selection or consult us for recommendations. For a truly elevated dining experience, a sommelier or bartender can be brought in to guide your guests through the perfect pairings.

  • The exact timing will be tailored to your event, but typically, the chef will arrive about 2hrs before your guests to ensure everything is perfectly set up. After serving a the last course, I will discreetly wrap up, leaving your kitchen spotless, so you can simply enjoy the experience without a worry.
