Do you have high-chairs and booster seats for use?
-
Yes! We have 3 booster chairs for you and your guests to utilize.
We have a large party. How should we structure food-serving?
-
We always recommend (for large parties especially) that hosts put all food out on the food counter just before guests arrive. Some guests will arrive hungry and some will have just eaten, depending on the timing of your event.
-
Allowing guests to graze as they become hungry (or when their little ones need a break from playing) ensures that all guests will have a seat when they choose to eat and avoids congestion around the serving area.
Can we bring our own food and dessert?
-
Yes! You can bring homemade food, store-bought food, and/or outside catering.
Can we bring alcohol?
-
Alcohol is only allowed at your party if there are no children or guests under 21 on the premises (such as wedding showers/baby showers/adult gatherings). PLEASE be responsible and sensible. Per your contract, you are responsible for serving your guests. We are unable to serve alcohol and are not responsible for monitoring guests' drinking or their behavior. We do reserve the right to ask any guest to leave the premises as deemed necessary by the staff. We are not responsible for monitoring underage drinking, but if we see it, we will ask you to have the guest leave the premises.
Do you have a freezer or ice?
-
Yes, we do. We will provide ice for your party for an additional cost or you can purchase it and keep it in our freezer during your event.
When do I pay my balance?
-
You can pay your final balance on the day of the party before your party starts. You’ll be provided with a high-level receipt. If you’d like a detailed receipt you can request one at any time! We accept cash or credit cards. We do NOT accept personal checks. You may tip (optional) in cash or on a credit card.
