The Experiences

Five ways to be served

Every event is built from these formats, in any combination, for any guest count. Tell us the occasion and we will suggest the mix.

Nisha hosting from the Chariot window

The Chariot, hosted

The bar on wheels arrives dressed in fresh roses and polished brass, the marquee lit, and is hosted by hand from the first pour to the last bite. Guests come to the window; we do the rest. It is the centerpiece every format below is served from.

Best for: any occasion that deserves a moment

Caviar bump on a mother-of-pearl spoon

Bumps

A pure spoonful on mother-of-pearl, served to each guest at the window. Fast, theatrical, and the purest way to taste the pearls.

Best for: cocktail hours, launches, crowds

Warm blini with crème fraîche, caviar and chive

Blini Service

Warm blini with crème fraîche and caviar, dressed your way from a spread of chive, shallot, sieved egg and more. The classic, done at the window.

Best for: brunches, showers, getting-ready suites

A seasonal LuxeBite in pink martini glasses

#LuxeBite

Our signature seasonal pairings, created in the Chariot kitchen and served only at the Chariot window. Each season brings a new one, built to be talked about.

Best for: evenings, galas, the just-because dinner

Rosé champagne in fluted glasses with caviar toasts on the rim

Champagne Pairings

Blush pours selected to carry each bite, in fluted glassware with a caviar toast clipped to the rim. For guests of age.

Best for: toasts, send-offs, broker opens

Two mother-of-pearl spoons of caviar on a blush pearl plate

Caviar Flights

Caviars served side by side, with the plant-based pearl alongside, and Nisha talking you through each one. Taste, compare, find your favorite.

Best for: dinners, tastings for two, the curious

How It Works

From the first call to the last pour

  1. Inquire

    Call or send an email. Tell us the date, the place and the occasion. That is all we need to start.

  2. Consult

    Nisha calls you back to talk through guest count, the formats that suit the moment, preferences and any allergies, and the look you want.

  3. Custom proposal

    Your custom proposal, with menu and pricing, arrives within the hour. Our systems are built so you can decide quickly. Every one is bespoke, by event type and guest count.

  4. Event day

    The Chariot arrives ahead of service, dressed and lit, self-contained and staffed. Guests come to the window; we handle the rest.

Questions

Before you call

How much space does the Chariot need?

The Chariot is 13 ft long (including tongue and platform), 6 ft wide and 8.5 ft tall to the top of the marquee. Please allow an operating footprint of 15 × 10 ft. For indoor placements, we need at least 9 ft of clearance.

Does the Chariot need power or water from the venue?

No. The Chariot is fully self-contained, with an onboard generator, its own water and waste systems, and a climate-controlled, air-conditioned interior. On board are a prep fridge, dual display fridges, a three-compartment sink and a hand sink.

How long do setup and breakdown take?

We arrive about 1.5 hours before service to set up, and breakdown takes about 45 minutes. Service hours are flexible and work around your event or showing schedule.

Who staffs the Chariot?

One to two uniformed team members are on site for every event.

Are you insured and licensed?

Yes. We carry $1M in general liability coverage, are ServSafe certified and Health Department compliant, and hold all required permits and licenses.

Do you have vegan or vegetarian options?

Yes. Vegan and vegetarian guests get the full Chariot experience, pearl and all. Our plant-based caviar is crafted from sustainably sourced seaweed. It mirrors the lustrous black colour, the small precise pearls and the subtle brine of sturgeon caviar, with no fish or animal products.

It is served in every format: bumps, blini, #LuxeBite and the flight. Vegetarian pairings run throughout, from blini and potato stacks to house chips and whipped dips. Allergies and preferences are gathered at the consult, and the menu is built around your guests.

Can we book a small tasting rather than an event?

Yes. The Chariot serves tastings for one or two as happily as a reception for two hundred. A guided flight for a date night, an anniversary or a birthday is one of our favorite bookings.

Is champagne included?

Champagne pairings are one of our five formats and are served to guests of age. We will talk through pours and quantities when we build your proposal.

How far in advance should we book?

Seven to ten days is ideal so the caviar can be sourced for your date. Shorter notice is often possible, so call and ask.

Where do you serve?

Naples, Marco Island, Fort Myers and Estero, year-round. For venues elsewhere in Southwest Florida, ask us.

How is it priced?

Every event is bespoke, priced by event type and guest count, with the caviars, pairings and service style chosen for the occasion. There is no set menu with prices; your proposal is written for you.

Do you offer charcuterie?

Caviar and champagne are the heart of the Chariot. Charcuterie cones can be added for the table on request.
