The bridal table is for the wedding party, only. Please inform us of any children in the wedding party and the need of booster seats or high chairs. We ask that you have place cards for the table and that you inform them of the seating arrangements. As soon as the bridal party is seated, we would like you to have your blessing and toast. The bridal and family tables will be served immediately after, unless you have made other arrangements.
We ask you to keep the family table seating to a minimum and the immediate family only. Parents, grandparents, sisters, and brothers, and clergy should be at the family tables. You may designate other relatives on your seating chart as a beginning table to be called to the buffet first or served in the case of a sit-down dinner. Place cards should also be used for the family tables. Please be sure to indicate where you would like the family tables to be on your seating chart.
Your seating chart should be turned in to the manager two (2) weeks before your affair. You are to indicate how many people will be seated at each table and any tables you wish to be taken out. Please put your total count on the chart. Don’t forget to include the photographers, Disc jockeys or band members in your count. Your count cannot be decreased after the two (2) week cut-off date, but can be increased one (1) week before the affair. You are not permitted to bring in food for the buffet. Dessert, in the form of cookies and/or pastries, may be brought into the hall. Remaining food at the close of the buffet is to be retained by the Hall due to Department of Health regulations and liability.
PS
Please remember to be courteous to your guests. The meal will be ready to be served at the time you specify. Please coordinate this with your photographer, D.J. and receiving line so that your guests are not kept waiting for an extended period of time.
You will be contacted by the Hall a month prior to your
affair to set up an appointment to meet with you and
go over any questions you may have. At this time, we
ask you have your menu picked out. Please call us if
you wish to meet with us earlier.
The balance of your bill is due two (2) weeks prior to your
affair, payable by personal check, money order, or credit
card. Prices are based on 150-350 people; any amount
lesser will be assessed.
