Guarantee
To provide the best possible service and most competitive pricing, we maintain a policy on customer guarantees for each event. Please call in your final number of guests as your guarantee at least (48) forty-eight hours in advance of the function. If this number is not received in the catering office, you will be billed for your original expected number of guests. You will be billed for the guaranteed number or the actual number in attendance, whichever is greater.

Pricing
The catering staff can help suggest menus that offer the greatest economy and excellent quality. Prices listed include menu selections and standard service required for your event. Because service needs often vary for each group, some services and items are priced separately. These items include such things as wait staff charges, china and linen charges, equipment rental charges, floral requests, and candles among others. It is best to consider all of these and similar items to obtain a realistic cost estimate for your function. Written proposals are available from your catering staff on request.
