Your Questions, Answered

  • Yes, our catering services have specific minimum order requirements (excluding rentals, taxes, and fees) to ensure we provide exceptional experiences while managing our resources effectively. Please note: these minimums do not apply to grazing stations, small-bite–focused events, or certain intimate gatherings.

    For full custom events with complete dinner service:

    • Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays: Minimum order of $10,000

    • Monday through Thursday: Minimum order of $7,500

    During holiday weekends, special occasions, and recognized holidays (as determined by Twisted Radish), minimum order requirements are subject to change, and additional holiday fees may apply. This flexible approach allows us to accommodate unique requests while maintaining the highest level of service.

  • Because each event is custom, pricing varies depending on menu selections, guest count, rentals, staffing, and service style.

    For full-service weddings with staffing, service ware, and a multi-course dining experience, most clients invest between $150–300+ per guest.

    Events featuring premium proteins, extensive rentals, or elevated design elements may exceed this range. More casual formats such as grazing tables or cocktail-style receptions may fall below it.

    We are always happy to help guide you toward options that align with your vision and priorities.

  • We believe in customization and tailor all our proposals to your specific needs and tastes. Menu prices vary depending on the types and variety of foods.

  • Yes, we offer select drop-off catering options for more casual gatherings, rehearsal dinners, and smaller events. These menus are designed to provide beautiful, seasonal food without full staffing requirements.

    Availability varies based on schedule and guest count.

  • Most couples book 9–18 months in advance, especially for peak season dates between May and October. We recommend reaching out early to ensure availability and allow ample time for menu planning and event coordination.

  • Couples with a signed contract and deposit in place receive a complimentary tasting. If the contract is not yet signed, there is a cost of $200 per 2 guests to attend, $50 for every additional guests with a max of 6 guests. If you book your event with us, these funds will be credited on your final invoice. Tastings are conducted privately and feature menu items from your proposal.

  • Yes. We regularly accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and other dietary needs. Because each menu is customized, we can thoughtfully adapt dishes to ensure all guests feel included and well cared for.

    Please share dietary needs during the planning process so we can design the best possible experience.

  • Our facility is not allergen-free. Our entire menu is prepared in a facility that uses peanuts, tree nuts, soy, milk, eggs, and wheat. While we take precautions to minimize cross-contamination, we cannot guarantee our products are safe for individuals with severe allergies to these ingredients.

  • We offer a range of service styles including buffet, family-style, plated dinners, cocktail-style receptions, and grazing stations. Each style creates a different guest experience and impacts staffing, rentals, and overall budget.

  • We train all our staff in-house to ensure knowledgeable and well-educated professionals are present at your event. We take pride in paying our employees above minimum wage, as we believe in creating good-paying jobs and taking care of our hardworking staff who strive to make your event memorable.

    As a general guideline, buffet-style service requires fewer staff members compared to family-style or plated service. Buffets typically need around 6 to 8 servers, while family-style and plated dinner service may require 10 to 15 staff members, depending on the complexity and location of your event. We will work with you to determine the most effective staffing solution for your specific occasion.

  • Yes, we highly recommend using a wedding planner or day-of coordinator for your event. With so many moving parts, a professional planner can ensure everything runs smoothly, allowing Twisted Radish to focus on delivering exceptional service and food. Having a planner or coordinator helps manage logistics, timelines, and any unforeseen issues, ensuring a seamless event experience.

  • Our usual service area extends within a 1 and a half hour radius from our base in Madison. If your event is outside this area, please contact us for more information.

  • We offer a curated selection of service ware including plates, flatware, and select glassware. For additional items such as tables, chairs, linens, tents, and specialty pieces, we partner with trusted local rental companies.

    Clients or planners are responsible for coordinating third-party rentals including ordering, delivery schedules, and setup arrangements.

    We are always happy to provide recommendations based on your event style and needs.

  • Yes, we have palm leaf and other compostable products that look great and are more cost-effective than traditional rentals. Feel free to ask about these options, and we can provide samples.

  • We believe food should feel as beautiful as the event itself. Our menus are thoughtfully designed with seasonal ingredients, refined presentation, and a focus on creating memorable guest experiences.

    Our team handles every detail with care so you can enjoy your event knowing everything has been thoughtfully prepared.
