| Thank you for inquiring into our catering and special event services. We welcome the opportunity to assist you in all aspects of your catering and banquet needs. As you scroll down this page, we feel that the following menus cover quite a broad spectrum of styles and budgets. We strive to offer the most affordable, accommodating and professional catering & banquet services. We understand that all events are special and therefore unique unto themselves. For this reason we still find it imperative that you discuss your preferences and needs with someone from our staff. Catering is a personal service, therefore your own ideas and suggestions must be considered for any event. BEFORE YOU BOOK – YOU SHOULD KNOW Pricing and Minimums At time of booking we do not require a minimum number of guests. On your contract we will provide two pricing options for you. These pricing options will be dependent upon your final guest count. Your final guest count will be due 7 days prior to your event and this will be the final you pay for. This number may be increased up to 24 hours prior to scheduled catering date and will due at the start of your event. Rest assured that should you have unexpected guests, our catering service always provides for an additional 5 meals above your booked final number. Also if you are working with a budget per person for meals let us know and we can assist you in finding that menu that will work for your budget or we can create a menu for your budget! Price Changes, Substitutions, Taxes & Gratuities We reserve the right to adjust any pricing with the market fluctuation as needed. We reserve the right to make any substitutions necessary on menus with the same quality and quantity if needed due to unforeseen circumstances. Any pricing increase adjustments will not be made to a signed contract, but will be reflected for our printed and onsite menus and pricing. At the time of inquiry you will be notified of any price fluctuations. Tax will be added at 7.8%, Gratuity will be added at 18% and a $15 service charge. Deposits and Payments & Discounts Our booking policy for catering services requires a non refundable $200 deposit. This deposit amount may be lowered or adjusted by Sales Manager under certain circumstances. The total final balance less your deposit will be due in full 7 days prior to your event when your final guest count is due. Our non refundable deposit is catered to make our services more attractive. Other hotels and catering services require the standard norm deposit of up to 50% with a guaranteed minimum guest count. We believe you should know your guest attendance closer to your event date and therefore do not require a guest minimum, resulting in you paying for more than can attend your event. With our non refundable deposit, it saves you money should you need to cancel your event due to unforeseen circumstances. Any event paid for in full 7 days prior to your date and cancelled are non refundable. Menu Selections We offer a broad range of packages for every event. We also offer our unique “Your Buffet” package which allows you to select from our menu the entrée, starch, salad, and vegetable of your choice!

Your final menu choices must be made 7 days prior to your event. Children Discounts We offer children pricing discounts. Any children 12 and under will be deducted 15% off the full price. It should be noted that the children discounts does results in meal portion adjustments. So please be aware that any attempts at taking the children discounts for more than the amount of children that will be present at your event, may result in a shortage of food. All meal portions are calculated accordingly to adults and childrens. Complimentary Selections We offer a booking incentive for each catering & banquet event.
