We are excited that you have chosen to share your celebration with us. To hold your date, we will need to receive your deposit and signed contract. We will invoice you for the deposit, send the contract, and hold the selected date for 7 days to give you time to complete those steps.
-
We will be available to develop the overall event plan with you whenever you are ready. The first step we usually take Is to sit down and talk menu and style ideas and bar plans, if any. We can also help identify vendors you need for cakes, music, florals, carriage rides and so on if that Is helpful. Next we turn to the physical plan for the venue: the number of guests expected, the possible traffic flow, location of music, dance floor, bars and food, décorating plans are set forth.
-
We provide on-site catering for all of our venues. The safety of our guests is important to us, as is the smooth execution of their celebrations. For those reasons we discourage use of outside caterers.
However, outside caterers are allowed with prior approval, a contract, and a third party fee:
We require event insurance and the caterer’s own insurance to list First & Green LLC as a named insured.
We also require a three-way contract making each party’s responsibilities clear.
Lastly, we charge a third party catering fee of $300 as working with an outside service provider creates additional work for us.
We do offer the ability to bring in food at Miss Emma’s Dining Room, and of course wedding cakes can be brought in from the wonderful army of cake bakers in our area.
