Specific services, menus, pricing, dates, locations, guest counts, and other details may vary depending on the individual event or service agreement.
Submitting an inquiry through our website, by phone, email, or another communication method does not automatically constitute a confirmed booking.
A booking is considered confirmed only after the required details have been agreed upon and any applicable deposit or payment has been received.

Clients are responsible for providing accurate and complete information regarding their event.

Menu preferences
Dietary restrictions
Food allergies

Any applicable deposit, balance, payment schedule, or cancellation fee will be communicated to the client before the service is confirmed.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all amounts owed must be paid according to the payment terms provided for the specific service or event.
Certain services may require a deposit or advance payment to reserve a date.
When a deposit is required, the reservation of the requested date is subject to receipt of that payment and confirmation from Alejo Private Chef & Catering.
A deposit may be non-refundable depending on the specific booking and cancellation terms communicated to the client.
Cancellation and rescheduling policies may vary depending on the type of service and the timing of the request.
If you need to cancel or reschedule an event, please contact us as soon as possible.
Depending on the circumstances, cancellation or rescheduling may result in:
Loss of an applicable deposit
Cancellation fees
Additional costs associated with rescheduling
Charges for ingredients or services already purchased or prepared
Any specific cancellation terms agreed upon for an individual event will take precedence over general information contained in these Terms & Conditions.
Menus may be customized based on the client’s preferences and the services agreed upon.
Ingredient availability may change due to seasonality, supplier availability, market conditions, or other circumstances outside our reasonable control.
We reserve the right to make reasonable substitutions when necessary while maintaining the intended quality and character of the agreed menu.
Significant menu changes requested by the client after confirmation may result in additional charges.
Clients must inform us of any known food allergies, intolerances, dietary restrictions, or special dietary requirements before the event or service.
Although we will make reasonable efforts to accommodate disclosed dietary requirements, our food may be prepared in environments where allergens are present.
Because of the possibility of cross-contact, we cannot guarantee that food will be completely free from a particular allergen unless a specific arrangement has been expressly agreed upon in advance.
Clients and guests are responsible for communicating any allergies or dietary concerns before consuming food.
The client is responsible for ensuring that the event location is reasonably suitable for the services requested.
Depending on the service, the client may be responsible for providing:
Reasonable access to the event location
Adequate kitchen or preparation space when required
Necessary utilities
Parking or loading access when applicable
Safe working conditions
Accurate information about the venue
We may decline or modify services if unsafe or unsuitable conditions prevent us from reasonably performing the agreed service.
Our staff and service providers must be provided with reasonable access to the event location.
We reserve the right to stop or modify services if conditions at the location create a serious safety concern or prevent the service from being performed appropriately.
We are not responsible for delays caused by circumstances at the venue that are outside our reasonable control.
Some events may involve third-party venues, rental companies, event planners, delivery services, or other vendors.
Alejo Private Chef & Catering is not responsible for the actions, omissions, delays, policies, or failures of independent third-party providers.
