GENERAL INFORMATION
A non refundable deposit, which is applied to your event total, is required to reserve your date. We will
gladly hold a room for 72 hours after which time a deposit is required to guarantee the space. 100% of
the final estimated balance is due 5 days prior to your event date in the form of credit card, cashier’s
check or cash.
All events are required to meet a minimum expenditure. Minimums may vary due to date, time or size of
the event. Room minimums do not include Service Charge or State Sales Tax. The requirements are
quoted prior to booking the event and are stated in the Catering Confirmation Agreement. For minimum
requirements for an event under consideration, please contact the catering department.
The customary 20% Service Charge and current State Sales Tax will be added to all charges. The
Service Charge is taxable in the state of California. The service charge is not a gratuity and is the
property of the hotel to cover discretionary costs of the Event.
Unless you have established credit in advance with us, your final payment (entire contract price) must be
made by cash or cashier’s check or credit card 5 days prior to your event.
All events have a maximum time limit of six (6) hours. If additional time is required, arrangements may be
made with the catering department prior to the event. Additional charges will apply.
Please contact the Catering office at least one month prior to your event to review and confirm the details
for your event, including menus, decorations, entertainment and beverage service. Upon review of your
event requirements, a Banquet Event Order will be sent to you to confirm all final arrangements and
prices. These BEO’s must be signed and returned to the Catering office 5 days prior to the event.
We ask that you confirm the total number of guests that will be attending 5 business days prior to the date
of your event. A Seating chart will be provided at that time, with an allowance of 5% above your final
guest Count/Guarantee. The attendance figure you provide by that date will not be subject to reduction.
Due to State law, you may not bring into the Hotel any food, alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages from an
outside source. Additionally, no Event food or Beverage may be taken off premises without prior written
approval from the Food and Beverage Director.
An Entertainment Agreement must be completed and signed by your DJ and Entertainment providers
prior to your event. A Dance Floor Fee may apply.
Arrangements for delivery of packages must be made through the Catering office. Receiving, handling
and shipping charges may apply.

cover hotel costs and additional labor. If equipment required exceeds hotel’s inventory, then you agree to
pay for the cost of renting this additional equipment.
