General Banquet Information

We have many packages to customize your event.
Custom banquet food catering – any items available (pick up only)
Special Requests: We can prepare any food item within reason. Usually with no additional cost. We specialize in gluten free and can meet any allergy or vegan concerns. If you would like something that you don’t see, please ask us. We will be glad to accommodate.
In addition, our culinary team can create “themed” banquet food buffets for your event including Italian, Caribbean, Mexican, Southern style, Japanese, BBQ and more. All will make your event extra special.
Banquet menu options start at $20 per person for food. There is a minimum total spend required. This is based on the date, the day and the time of the event.
All prices are subject to an 8% sales tax, 17% labor fee and 3% admin fee. The fees are in addition to the minimum spend and unfortunately are non-negotiable.
Gratuity is NOT required. The labor fee (not gratuity) covers the several staff members who prepare and maintain your event before, during and after. Our service staff is paid a competitive rate, but will always welcome “any” additional gratuity for making your event beyond exceptional.
To hold your date, a $300 non refundable deposit is required. This will be deducted from the total the day of the event.
A $200 Room rental fee (non-negotiable) is required for a private event. Room rental is based on 4 hours ($75 for each additional hr) Room rental includes standard linens and napkins plus use of the entire facility and all of its amenities. Special colored linens are available for an additional fee.
All prices listed are subject to change unless we have received both a $300 deposit and a signed final agreement.
We do allow table decorations. However, no stapling, tacking of décor to any area of the Backroom (Unless first approved by the coordinator). Confetti is subject to a $50 cleaning fee. Any damages done by negligence, or other fees will be negotiated and taken from the deposit at the end of the event.
A final count is needed 10 days before the event and again during the event. This determines the final price (whichever is higher). If the guest count is too low, we reserve the right to charge the minimum spend negotiated on the contract.
Outside event catering is allowed provided the room minimum is met. The Food Caterer must be licensed & insured.
No outside alcoholic beverages are allowed. We can arrange any special requests that may or may not include a charge.
