Our Services

---

Our Event Professionals are ready and eager to help you plan your special day or evening. We do not charge any administrative fees, so this service is complementary with your catering order. Let us be your one stop shop for your event!

Extended planning services are available. We have relationships with many wonderful vendors, and we can work and coordinate every aspect of your event.

We are fortunate enough to have an amazing, dedicated staff. Several of whom have worked with us for many, many years. Our staff are extremely professional and dress accordingly for each event. Staffing for events is charged at an hourly rate for time required per event. There is a four-hour minimum for staffing and that timing includes travel, set-up & break down.

After looking through our extensive menus, don't see anything that works for you? No problem! We can happily create a custom menu to fit your event.

Let us help you coordinate your party rentals. We can help you with linens, dishware and equipment. Ask your event professional for more information when booking.

To place an order or check event date availability, please call (508) 872-6826 or email franklincaterers@aol.com. We strive in timely responses and will return all inquiries within 24 hours. 

For your convenience, we accept all major credit cards as well as cash and corporate/personal checks. For corporate businesses, we offer the ability to establish corporate charge accounts with direct billing. Please note, a small transaction fee will incur for all credit card transactions. We apologize for any inconvenience. 

To secure your event date on our calendar, a $500 nonrefundable deposit is required. Thirty (30) days prior to your event, fifty (50) percent of the total bill must be submitted. The remaining balance must be paid in full ten (10) days prior to your event. In addition, a credit card must be on file for any additional charges that may occur.

A Head Count, or the number of guests attending your event, must be given no less than ten (10) days prior to event along with final payment. The head count is the minimum number for which you will be billed. We will try to accommodate, to the best of our abilities, any reasonable last minute head count additions. 

We arrive approximately 1-1.5 hours prior to the event start time. Formal events may require additional set up time. Please be clear with your event professional as to when guests are arriving vs. the eating time so that we can be set and ready before guests arrive to your event.

We require a forty-eight (48) hour notice for all cancellations. The customer will be charged the full amount of the invoice for orders cancelled less than 48 hours.

Pricing is subject to change at any time based on market pricing and product availability.

An 18% gratuity will be added to all full-service (staffed) catering events unless other arrangements are made in advance.

Franklin Caterers are not responsible for the set up or cleanup of the site in which we work out of for your event. We will leave all areas clean in the condition in which we found it. Further, trash barrels, trash disposal, and water must be available at all event sites. There will be a service charge for trash removal if required by the event site.

Franklin Caterers menu is diverse and contains a wide variety of foods, many of which contain one of the eight major allergens (dairy, egg, soy, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, and fish) as well as gluten. Please be aware that during normal kitchen operations involving shared cooking and preparation areas, including common fryer oil, the possibility exists for food items to come in contact with other food products. Due to these circumstances, we are unable to guarantee that any menu item can be completely free of allergens. At Franklin Caterers, the health and safety of our guests is very important to us. Prior to placing your order, please alert your event professional of any food allergies.
