You will need to supply at least two six-foot tables plus linens and adequate space to set-up and store our equipment. You will need to provide your own tables and chairs for your guests as we do not provide any of those as rentals. Should you need the services of a rental supply company we are happy to recommend someone to you.

We will need your final guaranteed count at least one week prior to your event. Should you need to increase your guest count you may do so up to three days prior to your event.

We typically staff one server per 75 people depending on the type of event. You may request more staff at an additional cost if desired.
