Terms and Definitions

Cost is for the menu you select per person, plus staff, rentals, tips and tax. Prices vary according to the number of guests and what is served. We do not charge corkage or cake cutting fees. Our fabulous cakes, made by Jill Branch start at $7.00 per person, including delivery and set up. Please see branchingoutcakes.com.

There is no charge for children under 5 and those between 5 and 9 years are half price unless a special menu is provided for them. Vendor meals (photographers, band, d.j., etc., not AWC staff) are available at $20 each. Staff is normally billed at $22.00 per hour each with a five hour minimum. Two of the staff are billed at $26 per hour, portal to portal. A gratuity of 15% to 20% (depending on the size of your event) of the food costs will be divided among them.

Payment Terms

To secure your date we will need a deposit of one half the estimated food cost, with the final amount due the date of your event. Other arrangements can be made. Please call 10 days prior to the event with the final count of guests. After that we can adjust for more guests, but not for fewer.
