breaks. No matter what the event is, we will work closely with you to provide top-quality, professional services

ensuring that your event is a success.

Although we have listed a variety of menu options, we welcome your ideas and suggestions and will customize

a menu that is uniquely yours. Our goal is to make your occasion a pleasurable experience. On behalf of the St.

Guarantees, Minimums and Deadlines

A minimum of 72 hours notice (3 business days) is required for all new catering orders, changes to existing

of the total guest guarantee. This guest count may be increased but not decreased by more than 10% from

the original estimate.

All cancellations must be emailed and submitted to the Catering Office at least 72 hours (3 business days)

prior to the event. We will do our best to accommodate last minute requests but cannot guarantee if less than

a 72-hours notice is given for increased customer counts or changes and adds to menu selections. All

cancellations must be received in the Catering Office three (3) working days prior to the scheduled event.

Failure to do so will result in charges incurred from event purchases
