Catering

Planning Your Event | Beverage Breaks | Stop & Drop | Presto Lunches | Bakery |
Breakfast | Picnics | Luncheons | Hors D'Oeuvres | Dinners



1. Decide what type of event you want.
Will it be a banquet, reception, or a coffee break? Will your guests stand or be seated? Will it be formal, casual, or "in between"? What are your budget limitations? While not every decision needs to be finalized at this point, the more you decide now, the easier your planning will be.

2. Plan the event with the Conference Coordinator.
This also should be done at the earliest possible date and no later than 7 working days (Monday - Friday) prior to your event. Most arrangements can be made over the phone, but some events with special menus may require you to make an appointment. For groups of 100 people or more, please contact the Conference Services Office a minimum of 14 working days before your scheduled event.
