Both shores, one written quote.
Kauaʻi groups split across shores — a Princeville house and a Poʻipū house, or a stay that moves midweek. Two-shore coverage is one contract with surcharges itemized per service day.
The split-stay pattern
The classic Kauaʻi fortnight: a North Shore week in the summer prime, then a South Shore week for the dry-side finish — or the reverse, chasing the seasons. Chef service follows: same crew, same menu file, one contract covering both addresses.
Pricing stays honest per day: the $50–$75 shore surcharge itemizes per service day at each address; base-zone days carry none. The quote shows the whole trip on one page.
The multi-house reunion
Two rental houses, one family, dinners alternating shores — a Kauaʻi specialty. Per-guest pricing makes the family math clean; alternating service days keep surcharges minimal; one quote covers the whole reunion.
Where coverage honestly ends
Far-North past the Hanalei bridge runs on the 72-hour clause; the west side quotes at inquiry. Two-shore coverage means the whole island’s inhabited arc — with the edges stated, not implied.
Questions, answered
Only the published per-service-day surcharge at each shore address — no “transfer” fees. The quote itemizes the trip day by day.
One dinner service per evening per crew — alternating evenings across houses is the pattern that works. Larger groups wanting simultaneous service get a second crew quoted honestly.
Yes — rehearsal south, reception north happens. One wedding-week contract covers both, with surcharges itemized per event day.
