What to know when you inquire.

Mountain Provisions is a small, boutique team, and every event we take on is thoughtfully designed from the ground up. We don’t use templates or one-size-fits-all menus. We meet with each client virtually to get to know you and understand your vision, and then Chef Em gets inspired and puts together a custom menu for your event. Every proposal is custom, and we put a lot of care, time, and behind-the-scenes work into creating something that fits your event, guest count, and vision.

Helpful things to know about our booking process:

Custom Proposals & Booking

Once we receive your inquiry, we’ll meet with you face-to-face (virtually) to chat about your event. Following the call, we will create a personalized proposal based on your event details, including Chef Em’s custom menu. To officially reserve your date, we require a signed contract and a 50% non-refundable deposit. Dates are not held without both.

Communication Matters

Because our proposals are custom and our calendar is limited, we kindly ask that you keep an eye on your inbox and aim to respond within one week of receiving your proposal—whether that’s to move forward, request adjustments, or let us know you need a bit more time. This helps us serve everyone well and manage our availability.

Guest Count & Planning

Final headcount and menu details are confirmed 6 weeks prior to your event. Small changes may be possible depending on timing, product availability, and staffing, but our events are intentionally capped to maintain quality and experience. In order to maintain the integrity and quality of the menu, we typically don't take weddings larger than 100 guests.

Menus & Sourcing

Menus are finalized 6 weeks prior to your event date. Our menus are driven by locally sourced, regenerative, and sustainable foods produced here in Montana, and surrounding regions. Small changes may occur based on availability.

Payments & Changes

Final payment is due one month before your event. Additional guests or last-minute requests may result in a post-event invoice. All deposits are non-refundable, including in the case of cancellation or date changes.

Dietary Needs & Restrictions

Dietary restrictions are always honored, and small menu adjustments may occur based on availability. Please let us know in advance if you have severe allergies or aversions.

PRICING

In-home Private Chef Experience

Each menu is thoughtfully curated by Chef Em and customized to each client's preferences and dietary needs. For groups starting at 6 people or more, we have a $2,000 minimum. For smaller groups of 5 or less, we have a $1,500 minimum. This pricing includes the cost per person, chef services, labor and provisioning, and a 20% gratuity. Clients outside a 30mile radius of Bozeman are subject to a travel fee, starting at $150. In our initial menu consult call, we will dive deeper into more detail!

Meal Drop Off & Delivery

Do you and your guests want to sit back and enjoy your vacation without the stress of cooking? We provide seasonally driven, locally sourced, quality prepared meals to be delivered directly to you by Chef Em and the Mountain Provisions team! Meals typically include a salad, entree, and dessert, and pricing begins at $125 per person. This price factors in our preparation time and cost of goods. Deliveries outside of Bozeman typically start at $150 travel fee.

Farm + Ranch Dinners
(off-site experiences with limited amenities)

Are you a farm or ranch that wants to collaborate with Mountain Provisions? These dinners are thoughtfully organized by Chef Em + the venue host and ticketed through our website. Each dinner consists of a welcome bite, 4-course ranch/farm-to-table meal, and wonderful story telling behind the dishes and where the inspiration came from. Pricing for these dinners varies depending on location and head count.
