Attendance Guarantee - We will need a final guaranteed number of guests who will be attending the event by 12:00 Noon, two business days prior to the event. As a service, we will prepare 5% over the guaranteed number to accommodate for unexpected guests. You will be charged for the guaranteed number or the actual number of guests served, whichever is greater.

Payment and Deposit Requirements - 50% deposit of the anticipated total expenditure is required for all social functions at the time the Catering Contract is signed. The balance is due upon presentation of the bill immediately upon completion of the service. Adjustments, if any will be made within 72 hours. Direct billing may be arranged for convenience following proper credit approval. All major credit cards are accepted, however a 3% processing surcharge will apply.

Cancellation - Any function cancelled prior to 48 hours (or two business days) notice: Deposit will be refunded less any actual expenses incurred up to that point which cannot be returned (foods, decorations, etc.).  No other penalties or interest will apply at the time.

Service Charge - A service charge is a percentage, usually around 18%, taken by the caterer to capture the money necessary to pay pre-party costs, and to capture the money necessary to pay support personnel the host does not have direct contact with i.e. drivers, dishwashers, stockers, etc. This charge is not a gratuity.  Gratuities are amounts of money given to the staff at an event which is divided equally.  It is above the cost of the invoice and is based on staff performance.
