PLAN THE SPECIFICS OF YOUR EVENT BY ACCESSING THE GUIDELINES FOR PLANNING YOUR EVENT

We kindly request orders for refreshment breaks be placed a minimum of 3 business days prior to the event. We kindly ask orders for meals and receptions be placed a minimum of 10 business days prior to the event and the event should be finalized no less than 7 business days in advance of the event.
Events scheduled less than 3 business days in advance may be assessed an additional fee.
Two hours of service are normally provided for catered meals from start to finish. If additional service is needed there will be a $15.00 per hour per worker service charge.

GUARANTEED GUEST COUNTS

A confirmed number of guests must be specified 3 business days prior to the event. This number is considered the guaranteed guest count.

CANCELLATION

If notice of cancellation is received 2 business days in advance of the event, you will only be charged any expenses incurred. If notice is received less than 2 business days in advance of the event you will be charged the full amount.

LINENS

WATER SETUP

Pitchers of water or large dispensers are available for conferences, lectures and meetings on campus. The charge is $.50 per person with a minimum charge of $5.00.

SAFE FOOD HANDLING

Safe food handling is a high priority for us. Therefore, we reserve the right to limit the removal of leftover food by the customer to items that are available for carry out. For your safety and that of your guests, a catering representative will remove food from your event in a timely manner.

PAYMENT

Payment for school sponsored catered events is due within 30 days of billing date. All functions to be paid from school accounts must supply an organization code number at the time the order is placed. All organizations that are tax-exempt must present their certificate at the time the order is placed.
Payment for non-school sponsored functions is due immediately upon receipt of invoice. State and local sales tax will be added to invoices of individuals or groups not exempt from such tax.
