What's the minimum for a reception?
Butlered hors d'oeuvres are passed and priced per person, per hour, and buffet menus serve parties of 30 or more. Hosting a smaller group? Reach out — our events team can usually put together an option that fits.
Do you do cakes and desserts?
Chocolate mousse, cookie and mini-cheesecake trays, and seasonal desserts are on the menus. Outside celebration cakes are welcome — a small cake-cutting fee applies.
Can we mix and match?
Absolutely — start with a menu and add butlered hors d'oeuvres, appetizer trays, or a bar package, all priced as one quote.
How late can the party run?
Evenings run late here — your room's schedule is set around your party, and all events conclude by 2 am, when the house closes for the night.
