Simple Orders | Upscale disposable plates, silverware, napkins and serving utensils are included.

When is payment due?

On-site Private Dining | Payment is due upon conclusion of the event. A signed contract is needed to secure reservation but a deposit is not needed.

NOTE: To avoid a credit card processing fee of 4%, we welcome payment by cash or check.
What are your service fees?
Service fees begin at 20% and may increase based on the final scope of service, including rentals, passed appetizers, plated dinners, and other event details.
Is there a minimum order for a catering order?
Venue typically requires a 20 guest minimum and a 48-hour notice. Please inquire about options available that day if you do not meet those deadlines and we’ll do our best to present alternatives available that day.
Is there a delivery fee for catering services?
Starting at $35, our prompt and professional team will deliver right to your door. Delivery charges are based upon distance from our kitchen, size of order, number of vehicles needed and how much setup is required.
Does the kitchen make extra meals?
No. Venue chefs calculate & portion a certain amount of ounces of each item per person based on your submitted head count. Our buffets are not priced out as an “all you can eat” buffet. But if there is food remaining once everyone has gone through, guests are welcomed to come through the line again.
Can I customize my catering if I don’t see something on your menu?
Absolutely! We are so proud of our chefs and our talented chefs will do their best to create menus that suit your needs and desires for your special event.
Are you able to accommodate special dietary requests?
With amble notice, we will do our best to accommodate for most dietary restrictions. Note: Venue Restaurant is a gluten free certified establishment.
When do you need my final head count?
We require your final head count at least 10 days prior to your event so we can plan accordingly.
Do you allow outside food at your establishments?
No, we are in the business of making food. We do make an exception for outside dessert. We take pride in our talented in-house bakery team who can customize and create something truly special for your event. While we do allow outside desserts as an exception, if you choose to bring one in, a fee of $35 or $1.00 per person (whichever is greater) will be applied to your final bill.
Do you offer bar catering services off site?
Yes! We are happy to provide bar services for your event. For cash bar options, we do need 30 business days to apply for a special designated license (SDL), so please plan accordingly. Please inquire with your coordinator about services and prices offered.
