Everyone is asking.

Event space, day of set-up, day of clean-up, existing tables, existing chairs, standard house linens for buffet tables and rounds, house flatware, and house glassware.
Is there a day of coordinator provided in your pricing?
Once you have booked your event, the Special Events Manager will continue to work with you to finalize menus, numbers and floor plans for your event.
