Catering

Our preferred caterer is Event Savvy, which features seasonal and organic farm to table cuisine. Joy and her team will customize your menu and oversee every detail to ensure that your day is unique and wonderful. The Event Savvy design team will bring your vision to life and arrange for additional items from specialty linens to elegant or rustic table settings to alternate tables or chairs to create your ideal ambiance. Joy can also provide referrals for flowers, cake, musicians, and other local services.

With approval, you may hire another licensed and insured caterer. When using an outside caterer, an additional fee applies to cover the required Facility Manager for the day of your event.

What is your alcohol policy?

Clients arrange for all alcohol – which means you are free to choose a selection that best matches your tastes and budget. You may hire a licensed bartender, or arrange for a bartender through Event Savvy or another approved caterer. Bottled beer only, no kegs.

Are there any restrictions on decorations?

The Event Savvy design team will work with you and your event planner (should you have one) on your décor ideas. There are some restrictions based on fire safety and preserving the environment; let’s discuss this in person at our initial meeting and during the planning process.
