DINNER EVENTS
Deposit
A $300.00 deposit is required at the time of booking in order to finalize your event. The deposit will be used both to confirm your reservation and hold the room and as a damage deposit. The $300 will be deducted from the final balance at the conclusion of your event as long as no damage is done to the room, equipment, or any other restaurant property. Should damage occur, the deposit will go towards replacing the damaged materials. Upon receipt of a signed reservation agreement and deposit, reservations are confirmed as final. Without a deposit, the reservation is considered tentative and we reserve the right to release holds on our banquet room.
Deposits for events cancelled within ten (10) days of the event are refundable. If cancellation occurs past ten days, the deposit is non-refundable. *December cancellations require two weeks (14 days) cancellation notice. All cancellations must be made in writing or directly with the Banquet Manager.
