GUARANTEES
The guest count for your event is due in our office fourteen (14) days prior to the day of the event. This is the number that we use to order food and to assign and arrange your space. You will be responsible for meals and beverages for this number of guests. Any increases in this number must be arranged with your Sales Associate and approved by the General Manager to ensure we can accommodate additional guests.
GROUNDS FEE
In the event you wish to use the grounds for a wedding ceremony or other function, there will be an additional fee of $500.00. This fee includes the use of the "bride's" room and bath located on the second floor of the lodge. If a tent is being placed on the property for your event, the grounds fee will be $1500 - $2500. The cost for the tent and equipment needed for an outside reception will be your responsibility. The grounds fee is for use of the grounds only.
PAYMENT AND SERVICE CHARGES
Payment in full for all charges except the final bar bill is required seven (7) days prior to your function. A 6.5% sales tax is applied to all food and beverage charges. A service charge of twenty percent (20%) is added on to all charges except taxes. This charge includes staffing (wait and kitchen), set-up, clean-up, and linen service. Form of payment is cash, personal check, Mastercard or Visa. The service fee on all large parties must be paid in cash or check form. Any additional gratuity you wish to pay the staff is separate.
