We require a 75% deposit upon confirmation of your event.  You may use a credit card to secure your event and the balance is required seven days prior to the event.  Any outstanding balance on account after 30 days of the event may be charged to the on-file credit card.  Cancellations prior to 72 hours before the event are eligible for a full refund for drop off orders (some exceptions apply).  Cancellations after 72 hours prior to the event are not eligible for a refund for drop off orders. Staffed events require five business days notice of cancellation and will be subject to a 10% administration fee.

 

Do you provide liquor for events?
