Deposit and Invoicing:

A 50% deposit will be necessary at least four weeks prior to all scheduled events costing more than $1,000. The payment will reserve your date and acknowledge your acceptance of the proposal.  The remaining balance and any additionally incurred costs are due immediately after the event unless otherwise agreed.  All amounts that remain past due more than thirty days will be subject to a one and one-half percent (1.5%) monthly interest charge.

Guarantee:

A final guest count must be submitted 8 business days prior to the event.  If a final guest count is not received on time, the count will be considered as listed on the proposal, unless prior arrangements have been made.  Last-minute changes will incur additional costs.

Pricing:

Projected prices for all costs may vary depending on the size of the event. Prices are estimated according to guest count.

Cancellations and Changes to Guest Count: 

60 days prior to the event: 90% refund
59-30 days: 50%
29-8 days: 40%
Fewer than 7 days, no refund.  If a major tragedy has occurred, the cost of purchased food only will be refunded.

If there is a change greater than 10% of the projected count, the per-person price may vary.

Gratuity and Sales Tax:

All food and beverage is subject to a 5% administrative fee and we suggest a 15% gratuity based on the food and beverage total.  Maryland sales tax is 6% and will be assed to the entire invoice, except gratuity.  Please provide a valid Maryland tax-exempt certificate if you have one.

Insurance:

A copy of the certificate of insurance is available upon request.
