Frequently Asked Questions

Do you need a kitchen at the venue?

No. We bring everything we need: our own grills, equipment, and team - no kitchen and no electricity required. We cook on site over live fire and leave the venue spotless.

Do you offer tastings before the wedding?

Yes - whenever our calendar allows, we're happy to arrange a tasting. Just ask!

How far in advance should we book?

Some dates book up just a month out, but we recommend reserving at least 6 months ahead to guarantee availability. Larger events need more lead time.

Do you cater both outdoor and indoor weddings?

Yes, both. Our Asado Authority Steakhouse experience brings the live-fire grill to outdoor venues, and Asado Authority Gourmet is our oven-based service for ballrooms, corporate events, and venues where a grill isn't an option.

Do you provide table service for our guests?

Yes - professional waitstaff to serve and attend to your guests is part of our service.

Is there a minimum or maximum number of guests?

Our catering service minimum is 50 guests or $2,500. For smaller, more intimate gatherings, ask about our Private Chef Service.

Do you handle cleanup and breakdown after the event?

Yes. We set up and break down everything related to our service - at the end of the night, the site is clean and tidy.

Can you coordinate directly with our wedding planner or venue?

Absolutely. Share your planner's contact information and we'll coordinate with them directly.

Can we customize the menu to our taste and budget?

Yes - every menu is tailored to you. No problem at all.

Does the menu include appetizers, desserts, and drinks?

Are you licensed and insured?

What happens if it rains or the venue changes last minute?

It's Florida - it rains! If rain is coming, we bring a tent. No problem.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, and we keep it simple: deposit first, then monthly payments - or whatever schedule works best for you.

What if our guest count changes before the event?
