Banquet Information

Guarantees

All approximate guest counts are required at the time of booking. A final confirmation or guaranteed number of guests is required by noon, three business days prior to the function. If no final guarantee is received, the projected guarantee discussed with the event planner will be considered the final count. All charges will be based upon the guarantee or the actual number of guests attending, whichever is greater. Plated functions: There will be a 25% surcharge per person on the numbers that exceed the guarantee on the day of the event. The club reserves the right to substitute entrees for the additional attendees, but every effort will be made to serve the contracted meal. Parties of 14 and under may order a la carte off of our Magnolia Dinner Menu. Prearranged menus with no more than three entrée choices are required for parties of 15 and over. The club will provide entrée indicators for multiple entrée choices at a charge of .50 cents each. Entrée choices must be given at time of guarantee.
