Banquet Terms & Conditions
Facility
There is no initial room charge to use our banquet facility, but we do have room minimums that must be met in order to host your event. These room minimums vary depending on the time of day and day of the week. Please contact the banquet office for specific room minimums for your event. If the room minimum is not met, you will be required to pay the unmet amount as a room fee.
Reservations and Deposits
After a date has been selected for your event, we will require a deposit of $500. This deposit guarantees your accommodations and is deducted from your final bill. A second deposit of $1,500 is required one month before the event. The final portion of the bill is due the day of your event and an additional bill will be administered after the event is completed to cover food, taxes, gratuity, bar tabs, and other miscellaneous expenses. Your final bill must be paid for immediately after the event.
Accomodations
We will provide these complimentary room essentials for your event: round ivory tablecloths, tan linen napkins, standard centerpieces, room set-up and clean-up, portable bars and staffed bartender, gift table, registration table, cake table, and table skirting. Any other needed items may be rented or purchased by your party.
Tax & Gratuity
A standard gratuity of 18% and sales tax of 5% will be added to the final food and beverage total at the end of the event.
Cancellation
If cancellation of your event occurs, all deposits will be forfeited. We will not refund paid deposits for any reason.
Confirmation of Guests
A final guest total must be given to the Event Coordinator no later than 14 days prior to your event. This final count will be the amount that is billed. If more guests attend, the additional cost will be added to your bill at the end of the event. We reserve the right to assess a fee for changes in your guest count that require alterations to the room layout or table set-up of your event.
Menu Planning
Entrées for each meal function must be chosen in advance. If you would like to offer more than one entrée to your guests, we will be happy too accommodate, provided that: 1) You choose no more than three entrees. 2) You provide coded cards to identify the choice of each guest. 3) Final guest total for each meal option is provided at least two weeks in advance.
