Requests/Confirmation/Guarantees
Requests for catering must be made in writing at least seven (7) working days in advance for all catered events to ensure that all items can be ordered and received on time. We understand that last minute needs do arise, and we will attempt to provide all requested services within the time and physical capabilities of the personnel and facilities.

This proposal must be signed and sent back to the Catering Department. All final changes, including the minimum guaranteed guest count, must take place at least 2 business days prior to your function. If you do not confirm your final count within the 2 business days allowed, we will prepare for the estimated number. You will be billed for 100% of your guaranteed count or the actual number, whichever is greater. If your event is cancelled, you are responsible for contacting the Catering Department to notify us of the cancellation. You will be responsible for 75 % of your food bill for any event that is not cancelled, in writing, within 2 working days of the function.
