We have clear procedures for our team to follow when handling the planning and event logistics. First, we will always plan to be at your event hours prior to the event start. We give ourselves this window to unload equipment, set up our area and begin preparations. Our team will be present at the start of your event, available throughout the duration and oftentimes we are one of the last to leave, and that's OK! During this time we will be answering questions, providing refills and spot cleaning areas to maintain the display. At the end of your dinner service, our team will handle leftovers, breakdown and cleanup of any Grits performed areas, every time, every event.

Our primary way of planning with our clients is through email, however, we are also available to take your phone calls, set up a zoom meeting or schedule an in person consultation or tasting!
