Holiday Pricing
Friday, Saturday and Sunday events in December carry a holiday premium of 15% of the culinary fee, with a minimum of $150. Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day and Valentine’s Day carry a holiday premium of 25% of the culinary fee, with a minimum of $250.

Children’s Pricing
Children 3 and under eat free when they share the family meal and no separate meal is made. Children 4 through 10 are charged half the adult culinary fee, with groceries planned for a child sized portion. Children 11 and older, or any child served a full adult meal, are charged the adult rate. Event minimums and staffing still apply.
