How far in advance should I book my private event in?

We recommend booking your private event with Gradito approximately two months in advance.

That said, we regularly accommodate shorter notice, so reach out even if your event is just weeks away.

Pricing for a Gradito private event varies based on guest count, menu complexity, chef selection, and additional services like sommelier pairings or full venue staffing.
