  • Absolutely! We are more than capable of hosting indoor parties as well. While the majority of our events take place outdoors, typically in backyards, we understand that sometimes there may be no available outdoor space or unfavorable weather conditions.

    Rest assured, the food and entertainment experience for indoor parties is nearly identical. Our skilled chefs will simply adjust certain aspects of the show to ensure safety, such as reducing the height of the flames.

    For indoor parties, we do require ceilings to be at least 10 feet high to accommodate our setup. Additionally, we recommend having more ventilation options, such as open doors and windows, to ensure proper airflow. However, these details can be discussed and coordinated with our booking specialist once you have made your booking. Additionally, we suggest that you turn the fire alarm off and make sure no sprinklers in the service area. The service area should be close to the window or door.

Cancellations or reschedule requests must be made at least 3 full days prior to your event date. Any cancellation or reschedule request made within 2 days of the event date (for example, Thursday or later for a Saturday event) will incur charges as outlined below. This policy applies regardless of the reason, including inclement weather.

    A tiered, one-time cancellation fee will apply as follows, based on your party guest count:

    • For parties of 20 or fewer, $200.

    • For parties of 31 - 40, $400.

    • For parties of 41 - 50, $500.

    • For parties of 51 or more, $600.

    Regardless of party size, any cancellation or reschedule request made on the same calendar day as the event will incur a fee equal to 90% of the total bill. This fee is assessed to cover non-recoverable costs, including event coordination, chef assignment, food preparation, food waste, and the loss of the reserved time slot that cannot be re-allocated to another client on short notice.
