Full-Service Experience: We bring all plates, glassware, cutlery, linen, and decorations. Complete table setting and service staff included. From IDR 2,200,000++ per guest.
Kitchen-Service Experience: Our chef uses your villa's kitchen, plates, and glassware. Same food, same chef, more intimate atmosphere. From IDR 1,750,000++ per guest.
Service charge (10%) and government tax (11%) are added to all prices. Wine pairing is optional at IDR 850,000 per guest.
Villa Chef / Catering (5+ guests): Chef hourly rate plus groceries at cost. You see every receipt. We do not markup ingredients. Pricing depends on service style — from IDR 350,000 per person for drop-off catering to IDR 800,000 per person for plated service.

What Affects Your Quote
Guest count
Most pricing is per person or scales with group size — more guests means more food, prep, and service staff.
Menu & ingredients
Fine dining, premium cuts, seafood, and special dietary menus cost more than everyday catering. For villa chefs, groceries are billed at cost — never marked up.
Service & staff
Waiters, bartenders, butlers, and sommeliers are added based on your guest count and the experience you want.
Area & travel
Your villa’s location affects logistics. Most major Bali areas are standard; remote areas may add a small travel cost.
Kitchen & setup
Villa kitchen access, equipment or grill rentals, floating-breakfast setup, and event decor can change the total.
Date & notice
Peak dates and short-notice bookings affect availability. Last-minute bookings are confirmed differently — just ask on WhatsApp.
