Food and Beverage Policies and Procedures

Each major or special event sponsor should work closely with their Catering Manager to develop a menu that is appropriate for your event. If you are ordering food and beverage for a meeting or small event, you should work directly with the Catering Manager to finalize your order.

Menu

Catering has a full menu available upon request. However, if you work with your event planner, there are an endless amount of options available to you for your event.

Event Timing

In order to ensure that your event is set up and cleared in a timely manner, please supply both the start time AND the end time when you book your event.

Lead Time

In order to provide the best service to your event, a minimum lead-time of three (3) business days (M-F) is required when ordering food and beverage. We will strive to accommodate any last minute requests that arise. Any orders after 3:00pm may be subject to a $10.00 late fee.

Linen for events will be charged at a rate of $3.75 per linen.

If you require specialty linen, please contact your event planner to discuss options available within your budget.

Skirting will be a charge of $10.00

Leftovers

For food-illness safety reasons, we do not allow customers to remove ANY food from an event at the conclusion of the event.
