Banquet Policies

Cancellation date- A cancellation date is set for one week (7 days) prior to your event should the need to cancel arise. We
understand plans sometimes change and all deposits and charges are refundable up until this date.

Room reservation and setup charge- This allows us to reserve your room on the requested date, schedule staff, and arrange
materials so that everything is ready when you arrive. A $50.00 charge that is refundable up until your cancellation date, after
your cancellation date this charge becomes non-refundable.

Guaranteed numbers and billing- 48 hours prior to your event we request your final plate totals are submitted to our Events
office. This amount serves as your guaranteed number from which we base our room setup, food preparation, and billing. We
do allow 5% leeway on this guaranteed number. Payment for all charges will be due the day of an event unless prior
arrangements have been made. All charges are subject to sales tax and 15% gratuity.

Room Rental Fee- In addition to your reservation and setup charge, all rooms have a rental fee of $50.00 which is waived with
a food or beverage purchase of equal or greater value. Whether its continental breakfast, room refreshments like canned soda
and cookies, or lunch in our dining room; it all applies towards this amount.

Menus and Selections- Our banquet menus are designed for groups of 20 or more, however, we do offer several of our regular
menu items for private groups as well. Additionally, we are open to, and will do our best to accommodate any special menu
requests. When selecting entrees we ask that you limit your selections to a maximum of two (2) choices, including children
items. However, menus with three or more selections are available at a charge of $2.00 per additional item multiplied by your
guaranteed number. For example, a function with 30 guests having three (3) menu choices would then have a charge of
$60.00 added to the final bill.

Cakes and Desserts- We do allow commercially produced cakes and desserts not sold by Dusters to be brought in for your
function. We are happy to supply plates and napkins free of charge, however, if you would like for our staff to also cut and
serve any dessert not purchased from Dusters, an additional $0.50 per person cake cutting fee will be added to your final bill.
