• For events hosting a meal for their guests, a food and beverage minimum will apply. Minimums vary by time and event space and are subject to applicable service charges, taxes, and fees. In order to secure the space for your event, a deposit is required along with a signed contract. Final payment is expected three days prior to the event.
