Describe the occasion
A family dinner, birthday, retreat and multi-day meal plan need different menus and staffing. Share guest count, serving time, preferred style and whether you want plated courses or a relaxed shared meal.

Be precise about dietary needs
Separate preferences from allergies and explain cross-contamination requirements. Ask for a written menu and confirm substitutions before groceries are purchased.
Clarify the full service
Confirm whether groceries, shopping time, assistants, table service, transport and cleanup are included. Check the villa kitchen and tell the chef about missing equipment before the day.
