Policies & Service Details
To provide a seamless and enjoyable experience for every event, Emelia follows these service guidelines:
Event Scheduling: Private events are booked based on availability and secured once your date and service details are confirmed. Because each event is customized, advance booking is recommended.
Guest Count & Menu: Your menu and service are customized based on your guest count, event style, and dining preferences. Final guest counts and menu selections will be confirmed prior to your event.

Kitchen Readiness: Please have the kitchen workspace, stove, sink, and necessary appliances accessible when Emelia arrives. This allows her to prepare and serve your meal efficiently.
Cancellation Policy: Because private events require advance planning and preparation, cancellation terms will be outlined when your event is booked.
