COSTING AND ESTIMATES:
Food & Beverage Experience

                             We require a “good” estimate of your guest count and food choices 30 days prior
                             to your wedding. Final, guaranteed numbers are required 14 business days prior to
                             your wedding. This is the minimum number you will be charged for, regardless of any
                             last-minute cancellations within that 14-day period.

                             •   Estimate half a bottle per person for dinner wine.
                             •   Estimate a minimum of 3 – 5 pieces of hors d’oeuvres per person,
                                 based on a one-hour reception prior to the main meal.
                             •   Estimate 2 drinks per person for a one-hour reception and 1 drink per person every
                                 half hour after that while the bar remains open.
                             •   Anticipate at least 20 minutes for each course and 30 minutes for the entrée
                                 course for dinner (this suggested timing will depend on the number of guests
                                 being served and the length of speeches - if any).

               restricted to the venue space you have chosen or in limited and previously designated areas as arranged through your Wedding Coordinator.

               If you book 2 or more venue spaces for your wedding, we are happy to accommodate your “glamour squad” in our beautiful and comfortable
               VIP Green Room. Here you and your wedding party have a beautiful place to relax, get ready and enjoy some wine and appies before the big walk.
