Planning Tips

Highlights and logistics of a Chateau event.

Bringing in your own food?

Don't forget to bring chafers and a way to keep your food hot.

You'll also need plates, napkins, eating utensils, as well as serving utensils.

Plan the drinks that go with the meal.

And if you want to keep things simple, we can provide the staff and everything you'll need to serve your food.

Drinks/Beverages

You are free to bring in your own beverages, but remember to bring the cups, serving containers, etc.

If you would rather not deal with the drinks, we can set-up and maintain your drinks throughout the night.

Service Staff

We can help set up your buffet, serve the food, and help with clean-up. This service is great for the client that has hired a restaurant to drop off the food or has had their menu prepared by friends and family.

Guest Tables

We can set up the guest tables or you can. Our Guest Table Package is for those who want a gorgeous event, but want to walk into their party with everything done. We can do the guest table set-up and do the clean-up at the end of the night.

You are responsible for clearing off all tables of cups, disposable tableware, and food and cake plates.

Bar

You can bring in all of your own alcohol. At the end of the night, you'll need to remove the products that you didn't use for your event. We will package leftover bar supplies in the boxes that you brought them in. We do not store extra boxes at the venue.

Stage/Dance Floor

DJ's and Bands have access to the venue. the same as you! At the end of the night, DJ's and Bands must have all equipment removed within the one hour take down time.

Rentals and Decor

Any rentals that have been brought on-site need to be removed the night your event concludes. Nothing can be left in the venue overnight and we are not responsible anything that is left behind.

Trash

All trash cans must be emptied and discarded food, flowers, decorations, etc. from the building and disposed of in our trash dumpster. However, this is often done by the caterer or by your food provider.

Clean-Up

Client is responsible for end of night cleanup unless you went with the End of Night Clean-Up package. Our End of Night Clean-Up package is for the client that has not hired their caterer to stay to the end of the night to do cleanup after the party is over OR for the client that does not want to do the final clean-up themselves.
