Planning Services Included
We want to help you host a premier event for your guests. We’ll help determine which of our rooms and services best meet your needs. We provide conference planning and coordination and appropriate room set-up services and assistance. We’ll be glad to prepare a bid/quote for your event based on the facilities and services you plan to use.
Catering Services
We have an on-site catering service provided by Great Western Dining. To meet your needs, we’ll need an estimate of the number of guests you’re serving. We ask for two weeks’ advance notice when possible; a 72-hour guarantee is required. Our caterer prepares enough food to serve 5% above the guaranteed number of guests, and invoices are sent after the event. Great Western Dining has the first right of refusal on all orders.
Service options include a basic buffet (with price quotes based on disposable products), a deluxe buffet (add 10% for china service and linens; tables are bussed), and a deluxe sit-down meal (add 15% for china service and linens; meals served to groups of 20 to 75 people).
