Tab le of Contents

ARE YOU PL ANNING YOUR HOLIDAY EVENT ON DECEMBER 4-19? WE SUGGEST YOU BOOK PRIOR TO NOVEMBER 20. The holidays are a busy, exciting time for everyone including the Catering by Michaels family! We love being a part of your seasonal festivities, parties, and Hanukkah traditions and look forward to warming your winter this year. You understand how a little planning can go a long way toward alleviating the stress and bustle during this festive time. This is why we suggest booking your holiday catering before the season sneaks up on you. Contact us prior to November 20 to book your party and give yourself the best opportunity to secure your chosen date - they sell out quickly! December 4-19 are considered peak dates and are subject to a peak surcharge, but if you book prior to November 20, we will waive this fee!

Peak Date Surcharges and What They MeanEvents taking place between December 4-19 and booked after November 20th are subject to a peak date surcharge. Why? In order to maintain the highest level of service and quality during this busy time of year it’s necessary to expand our resources – we need more people, trucks and equipment to keep the entire process moving smoothly. Just as you would never compromise when it comes to your friends and family, we would never think of skimping when it comes to serving you.
