General Corporate Catering Information

 
 

Food and Beverage

Gourmet and custom menus are available upon request.  Off-premise catering is a specialty of City Club, additional surcharges may apply.  Guests may not bring food or beverage (alcoholic or otherwise) into the club from outside sources, wedding cakes are the exception.  Excess food and beverage may not be taken from the club.  Pricing is based on a maximum of two hours of food display.  State Sales Tax will apply to room rentals, resources, food and non-alcoholic products. A 23% service charge will be added to all food and beverage purchases.  We require 1 bartender per 75 guests at the rate of $140 plus service charge and sales tax (covers a four-hour event).  For additional Bartender coverage, please contact your Catering Manager.
 

Guarantees

Meals will only be prepared for the number of guests the host guarantees.  If actual attendance exceeds the guarantee, the actual attendance will be charged.  The club will require a final guarantee by noon three business days (72 hours) prior to the event.  This will be the minimum guarantee, not subject to reduction.  If a guarantee is not received, the estimated number of guests will be used unless more are in attendance.
 

Banquet and Meeting Rooms

All functions are required to have a set beginning and ending time.  Functions that exceed the designated ending time will be assessed additional fees.  Events in the Ballroom, Terrace and Oak Room that exceed their scheduled time will be billed $500 for each hour beyond the designated ending time.  Banquet room rental charges are subject to sales tax.  There is a $100 per room minimum charge for each request to change the set-up of a room once the room has been set as originally agreed.  Set-up includes linens, chairs, and place settings.  Audio-visual needs may be arranged through the catering department.
 

Cancellation Policy

Cancellations must be sent in writing by fax or email and received more than 72 hours prior to the event.  Fees are determined by length of stay and room selection.
 

Decorations

All decorations are at the expense of the host.  Deliveries to the club must be coordinated through the Catering department.  No nails, heavy tape, staples or tacks may be used on walls, ceilings or furniture.  Confetti (with the exception of biodegradable confetti), sparklers and open flame candles are not permitted.  Event signs are prohibited in public areas of the club, including the business towers, elevators and parking garages.
 
If City Club rents or orders something on your behalf, you are responsible for full payment and all deposits necessary to obtain the rentals ordered.  If such items are damaged or lost and cannot be replaced by the standards of the rental company, you will be responsible for any replacement or damage fees.  All décor and misc. items provided by vendors/host must be removed at the conclusion of your event.   Items left will not be the responsibility of City Club and will result in a storage fee of $50.00 per day.  City Club allows for the tear down of each event not to exceed one hour.  Please note that there will be an overtime fee applied to the final invoice for anyone that stays past one hour.  For coordination services, please contact your Catering Manager.
