Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First we’ll need you to complete our initial inquiry form. It may seem a bit redundant since you've already given Fash some of this information, but it helps us have all your event information in one place. Once we decide upon your menu selections, we’ll create a quote for you. If all looks well, you’ll accept the quote and we require a 50% deposit to hold your date.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
ECPI Culinary Institute of Virginia, Norfolk, VA Culinaria, Vienna, VA
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
Mercedes Jo Events provides quality menu items at an affordable and competitive a la carte price. You know your crowd and your event theme better than we do, so we price this way so you can build a package that best suits your needs instead of us boxing you into a package deal that doesn't really work for your group. You can order as many or as few (really 15) of any menu item you desire. We run regular specials and promotions - ask us what we have cookin' this month!
How did you get started in this business?
I've had a passion for food since a young age. It wasn't long before my family and friends made me the go-to cook for all of our events. I've found a way to blend my passion with skill and create an amazing career for myself and others.
