To answer your questions and ensure the success of your event we have outlined below our suggestions and policies. We look forward to assisting you in planning your event, and to serving you and your guests.

Banquet Facilities and Catering Available 7-days per Week!

Food and Beverages

All food and beverages must be purchased from the Matterhorn. No outside food or beverages may be brought in, with the exception of specialty cakes.

Menus must be submitted at least 2 weeks prior to the function date. An approximate head count is required at that time. Bar service arrangements are also due 2 weeks prior to the function.

Guarantees

A guaranteed attendance figure is required 5 days prior to the function date. This figure will be the minimum number of guests for which you will be charged. You may add to that number up to the function date. You will be charged for the guarantee or actual attendance, whichever is greater.

Deposits and Billing

Upon reserving the Matterhorn, a $1000.00 deposit is required. For Sun-Fri events and groups less than 100, the deposit is $500.00. In the event a cancellation is necessary, 50% of this deposit is refundable if event is canceled in writing more than 6 months prior to the event date.

Deposit is non-refundable if event cancels less than 6 months before event date.  A change in the date from the original contract, after 48 hours, will forfeit 50% of the deposit and require a full deposit for the new date.  50% of the estimated bill for the event is due 30 days prior to the event. This amount is non-refundable.  The balance is due when the attendance guarantee is given.

Tax and Service Charge

7% sales tax and 18% service charge will be added to all items purchased. If your event is tax exempt, please furnish a signed tax- exempt certificate prior to the event.

Security

The Matterhorn reserves the right to require security for any event. Security officers will be supplied by the Matterhorn and charged to the client. Attendance guarantee will determine number of officers required for event.
