Cash bar is allowed ONLY if the caterer used has the proper CATERING License for alcohol. Just because a restaurant can serve alcohol on their property, does NOT mean they have a catering license to serve alcohol off their property. We can provide a list of area caterers that have the proper license. At NO POINT is alcohol allowed to be brought in by anyone other than the licensed caterer. A bartender’s license is not the same as a catering license.
The kitchen is a catering kitchen, meaning there is not a stove/oven. There are warming ovens, warming plate, under counter refrigerators,microwave, coffee pot, and ice machine.
With permission, food may be brought in,however it is expected kitchen will be left in clean condition, as found.
We take care of setting up and taking down tables/chairs.
It is greatly appreciated if trash from receptacles in the event center room and kitchen are gathered and taken to dumpster.
