2011 Event Policies
Thank you for considering Willow Creek in your event plans. We are eager to help you, both in planning and serving your event.
Food and Beverage Policy:
In compliance with state laws and health regulations, all food and beverage must be prepared, supplied and consumed on the premises.
Guests of Willow Creek (due to license and insurance restrictions) may not remove food and beverage. All state laws pertaining to the
drinking age will be enforced and ID’s are required. Managers reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. Events requesting no beverage
or food service will be subject to additional charges.
Guarantees:
Menu selections and a guaranteed number of guests must be submitted 14 days prior to your event. If a guarantee is not received, the guaranteed
number is the most recent amount stated during the event planning. The guaranteed number is the number upon which your charges will be based,
even if fewer persons attend. There is a $2,500.00 minimum for food on all Saturday events from May through October, and $1,000.00 on Saturday
events in December and January. Please check with the food and beverage manager to be sure that you are dealing with the current year menu as
our prices are subject to change.
Deposits and Rental:
An initial deposit in the amount of $100.00 is due upon the booking of your event. A $75.00 room charge will be added to your final bill for use of the facility.
Music:
House policy allows for a live band or DJ. Willow Creek will not contract with the music provider.
All music and entertainment must end no later than 12:00 Midnight.
Decorations:
We will try to have your space set up early enough to allow you or your party to decorate by 10:00 a.m. the day of the event. To help us maintain
our clubhouse we ask that nails, tacks or tape not be used in your decoration plans. We will provide all linens and white table skirting for your function.
Liability and Damages:
Willow Creek shall not assume any responsibility for the damage or loss of any personal items placed in our facility prior to, during or following
your event. The event host or hostess agrees to be responsible for any damages to the premises or property by their guests, as well as any theft.
Payment of Services:
All food and beverage prices are subject to applicable sales tax (7.375% for food and non-alcohol, 9.875% for alcohol) and a 17% service charge,
which is also taxed at 7.375%. The entire service charge is distributed to employees of Willow Creek who prepare, serve and manage your event.
Final payment beyond deposit amount is due on the date of the function. Groups requesting tax exemption must submit their State Sales Tax Exemption
Certificate #ST17 prior to the date of their function. Please discuss your tax exemption with the manager at Willow Creek.
