Frequently Asked Questions
The S’il Vous Plate Experience
S’il Vous Plate is a luxury, interactive fromage and artisanal charcuterie experience designed for elevated celebrations. Rather than a traditional communal grazing table, our signature Parisian-style cart is staffed by a dedicated Charcuterie Stylist who hand-assembles individual artisan plates for your guests on demand.Every detail—from the European cheeses and cured meats to the presentation, service, and bespoke accompaniments—is thoughtfully curated to create an experience that feels as beautiful as it is delicious.
Our signature Parisian Cart Experience is thoughtfully designed as a fully hosted and interactive service to guarantee the highest level of guest interaction, food safety, and aesthetic presentation. To protect the integrity of the S’il Vous Plate brand and ensure a flawless experience, we do not offer rentals or unstaffed hire of the cart.
No—and that's intentional.S’il Vous Plate was created as an elevated alternative to the traditional communal grazing table.Instead of guests reaching across a large shared display, our stylist hand-assembles individual plates directly from our temperature-conscious cart. The result is a more refined, interactive, and personalized experience for your guests.

Pricing & Investment
Our interactive charcuterie experience begins at $20 per guest, with a separate mobile logistics and curation fee.Because every event is individually curated, final investment depends on guest count, event requirements, service duration, location, and any requested enhancements.For reference, our current 40-guest example is $900 total, including the curated food experience, premium serving wares, dedicated stylist, setup, transportation logistics, and breakdown.A customized proposal is provided after we review your event details.

Submit an inquiry and we’ll recommend the experience that best fits your celebration.
Venue, Travel, & Event Logistics
We are currently serving celebrations in the Shreveport-Bossier area.For events outside our standard service area, additional travel or logistical fees may apply. Because our cart and culinary service require careful transportation and setup, travel availability is confirmed individually for each event.
Absolutely. Our cart is designed to be versatile for both indoor and outdoor settings.Provided that the designated outdoor setup area offers adequate shade or overhead protection (to protect the quality of the cheeses and meats), sheltered from rain, excessive wind, dust, and the ground surface is sufficiently level, we can set up in gardens, patios, or terraces to beautifully elevate your outdoor celebration.If weather conditions create a food-safety or equipment concern, S’il Vous Plate reserves the right to modify, pause, or relocate service.
Our Parisian-style cart is elegantly compact and specifically designed to navigate through standard doorways and elevators with ease. To operate successfully, the cart requires a flat, level surface for setup and a minimum operational footprint of approximately 6ft x 4ft. This space ensures our stylist has sufficient room to serve your guests comfortably and efficiently.
Our cart requires a flat, stable, level surface and adequate access from the unloading area to the setup location.For outdoor events, the cart must be positioned under appropriate protection from direct sunlight, rain, and significant environmental exposure.We also require sufficient access time before service for setup and calibration. Venue access should generally be available approximately two hours before the scheduled service window.A pre-event site check may be requested for venues with complex access or environmental considerations.
Our standard experience includes up to two hours of active on-site service.We arrive approximately two hours before your scheduled service window to position and style the cart, prepare our temperature-controlled service wells, sanitize the working surfaces, and complete final presentation details.Additional service time may be available upon request.
We recommend securing your date as early as possible, particularly for weddings, holiday celebrations, and peak event weekends.Our service is intentionally limited because each event requires advance culinary sourcing, preparation, staffing, transportation, and styling.Last-minute inquiries may be considered based on availability, but we cannot guarantee availability for short-notice events.
Booking & Policies
Once you submit your inquiry, we review your event date, guest count, venue, culinary preferences, and logistical requirements.Within approximately 1–2 business days, you’ll receive a personalized proposal and investment summary if your event is a fit for our calendar.Once you’re ready to move forward, your date is secured with a signed service agreement and the required booking retainer.Because our calendar and culinary sourcing are intentionally limited, your date is not held until the booking process is completed.
A 50% non-refundable retainer and signed service agreement are required to officially secure your event date.The remaining balance and final guaranteed guest count are due 14 business days before the event.We do not reserve dates or inventory without a cleared retainer.
Fresh perishable food remaining in our open service wells at the conclusion of the active service period cannot be packaged for client removal.This policy exists to protect food quality and comply with applicable food-safety requirements.Unopened, sealed reserve items may be left with the host when appropriate.
