Frequently Asked Questions
What is TDPP?
The Dinner Party Project is a Dinner Party Event created to celebrate community and to connect Orlandoans over great food, tasty drinks, amazing company, and interesting conversations.
Our monthly Dinner for 8 (affectionately: D8) events bring seven guests, plus one of our incredible Guest Hosts, together around the dinner table in a gorgeous setting with gourmet eats and drinks prepared by local chefs and artisans.
Our Private Event Packages offer an elevated dinner experience for you and your guests. We take care of the details so you can be present, enjoying time with those you’ve gathered. We help you curate a memorable event with customized menus and cocktails, on-site private chef and event staff, and decor.
Our Trusted Circle Dinners gather the same group of people each quarter for one year. You enjoy the opportunity to grow deeper with those in your current circle or build new relationships in a circle that TDPP gathers.
Plus, we offer everything from special community dinner events, large dinner experiences like our annual Women Lead Events, corporate parties and receptions, and more.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO COME TO D8?
The monthly TDPP Dinner for 8 experience offers a Cocktail, 4 Courses, Wine, and Credo Coffee to each guest. Tickets to a Dinner Party book at $85.20 per seat, plus an opportunity to leave a Tip for the Event Staff and help someone else join a Dinner Party!
We REALLY don't want $$ to be the reason that you don't join us around the table. If this is the case, please email danamarie@hellotdpp.com directly and let's see if we can trade services!
What if I can't afford a ticket to D8?
If you personally can't afford it, please email danamarie@hellotdpp.com; there are sometimes opportunities to trade services.
Tell your friends you want to come! If you would like to be generous towards your friends, you are welcome to pay for their Dinner and get them a seat at our next Dinner! Just get a Gift Certificate for them.
Where are the D8 events located?
Dinners are located in various places around Orlando, FL. From homes, to event venues, to art galleries ... The more unique places the better! If you would like to Host in your home or location, please email danamarie@hellotdpp.com.
How can I be a Guest Host / Guest Chef/ or Venue Host?
Contact Us with your questions and we can set up a meeting to chat about it!
But what shall I wear!?
Don't sweat it. It's somewhere between casual and cocktail attire. So nice jeans / pants and a button up or blazer is fine for the Gentlemen. And a lovely dress or nice jeans with heels and a lovely top works for the Ladies. Most importantly, wear something you feel comfortable in! Get ideas from our Instagram!
Can I bring a Guest?
We encourage our Guests to come as individuals, as the Experience is all about meeting new people. If you want to come as a couple, we won't say no to that. It does make for a fun Date Night. Please have each guest Sign Up and register separately. It is important that we have an individual profile with dietary information for each attendee.
What time does D8 start?
Most all of our Dinners start at 6:30pm. We will let you know if there is a different start time.
What if I can't come to the D8 I am confirmed for?
If you know that you can't make it to the Dinner, you can give your seat to a friend. Think of it like a Concert ticket, the ticket is not refundable or transferable to another date, but you can give it away or sell it to someone else. If you do so, please do let us know if someone else is coming in your place so we can check their contact info & dietary restrictions.
How can I come to another Dinner?
Good News! You are always welcome! Contact us to know upcoming dates or Book Your Dinner directly like you did the first time. You can always email us (guests@hellotdpp.com) to be added to the Standby List for possible open seats. And you can keep tabs on our Instagram for upcoming dates, too.
I had SUCH a fun time. How can I leave a Tip for the Guest Chef?
Easy! You can leave some LOVE here or when you check out, you will have the option to leave a Tip.
Can I give the TDPP d8, trusted circle, or special dinner Experience as a Gift?
Absolutely! You can buy a Gift Certificate here.
