Please consult your event manager for approved arrival, departure and setup times, as well as other special considerations.

Fees and Payment
Food and Menus
Wedding receptions are offered one complimentary private tasting for up to two people. The complimentary tasting includes up to four hors d’oeuvres, salad and two entrées with a selection of accompaniments. Please note that due to the design of the tasting, displays, stations, buffet offerings, historical menus and afterglow items cannot be sampled.
Your tasting can be scheduled up to six months prior to the scheduled event, and is also a full planning session with your event manager. Private tastings are held based on the chef’s availability Tuesday-Thursday at noon or 3 p.m. We will need at least three weeks' advance notice to plan and prepare for your tasting. You may choose to forgo the tasting for a credit toward your facility fee. Please contact your event manager for details.
