Common Questions
How does the booking process work?
Clients begin by submitting an inquiry. From there, Chef Larry schedules a consultation, prepares a custom proposal, sends a Square invoice, collects a deposit to secure the date, and requires the remaining balance seven days before the event.
Do you offer instant booking?
No. Ferguson Culinary Concepts Private Chefs does not offer instant booking or guarantee availability. Every event begins with an inquiry and consultation.
Can menus be customized?
Yes. Menus are tailored to the occasion, guest count, service style, and your preferences. Share your menu interests during the inquiry and consultation process.

Yes. Please include allergies, dietary restrictions, and special requests in your inquiry so they can be considered during menu planning.
