A Reminder to our clients:
The following is a list of items we have found are most often forgotten or overlooked in the months prior to your event.
Five months prior to your event we will finalize all the details for your event, collect the remaining rental fees, and an additional 50% of your catering bill.
Your final guest count is due Two Weeks prior to your event. Once we receive you final guest count, you may add last minute guests within reason. We will not reduce the final number once it is provided to us, as we place the orders for food. We need to be prepared to serve and set-up for all guests which requires advance planning on our behalf. Anyone requiring a seat, including children is to be included in your count. Please discuss any questions regarding children prior to your event. Any guests over your final count will be billed to you at the conclusion of the event.
Your remaining balance is due Two Days prior to your event in the form of a CASHIERS CHECK ONLY made payable to Chantrelles. Personal checks will not be accepted.
Note: The bartender is paid separately in cash prior to your event. The hourly wage will include one hour for set-up and one hour for breakdown and clean up. The hourly wage is NOT included in your bill. Please be prepared to take care of your bartender(s) before your event so you don’t have to worry about it at the end of your event.
Be sure to remind your florist and decorator they will not be allowed on the premises until two hours prior to the event start time. Additional time may be made available only with management’s permission for $100.00 per two hours. Please contact us prior to your event if you wish to bring party favors, decorations, etc. Keep in mind, if you are doing the decorations on your own, please allow plenty of time, as they always take longer than expected.
Any flowers, party favors, etc. remaining after you leave the facility will not be our responsibility and it will be assumed they are not wanted. Please make arrangements ahead of time if you need to return to pick things up. This must be completed in a reasonable time period. The manager will keep any valuables forgotten by guests and we will contact the owners or client as soon as possible.
Our staff will always go the extra mile to insure your event is smooth and stress free. They pride themselves in providing the best possible service. The service fee on your bill is not a gratuity. Most locations include a gratuity on their bill. We believe this is up to the client and should be based on the quality of service. Our staff greatly appreciates any gestures of thanks.
We will be looking forward to seeing you soon!
