If you would like to have any of these arrangements charged to the master bill, a 15% coordination fee will be assessed.

DAMAGEThe customer agrees to be responsible for any damage done to the function room or any other part of the Hotel by the Customer, their guests, invitees, independent contractors or other agents under the Customer’s control.

SUBCONTRACTORSCustomer agrees to have any subcontracted companies (theme companies, decorators, audio visual, production companies, entertainment companies, etc.) sign a “Code of Conduct and Policies Agreements” and abide by the Hotel rules and regulations. Upon Hotel arrival the contracted company shall furnish to the Sonnenalp a certificate of insurance evidencing $1,000,000.00 (one million dollars) of liability coverage prior to the commencement of work or services. In order to prevent damage to the fine fixtures and furnishings of the Hotel, items may not be attached to stationary walls, mirrors, floors, windows, doors, or ceilings with nails, staples, tape or any other substance, and the Customer will assume responsibility for any damage to hotel premises from such items.

GUIDELINES & TERMS OF SERVICE

GUARANTEESIn arranging for private functions, the attendance must be definitely specified and communicated to the Group Sales office by 12:00 noon, a minimum of three working days prior to the event. This number will be considered a guarantee, not subject to reduction, and charges will be the guaranteed number or actual attendance, whichever is greater. If a guarantee is not given to the Hotel by 12:00 noon on the day it is due, the number(s) on the Contract will become the guarantee. The Hotel cannot be responsible for identical service for more that 5% over guarantee.

PRICESWhile we make every attempt not to increase prices once your selections have been made, economic conditions dictate that we have flexibility.

TAX & SERVICE CHARGESAll assessments, federal and local taxes and charges which may be imposed or applicable to the agreement and to the service rendered by the Sonnenalp are in addition to the prices herein agreed upon, and the Customer agrees to pay them separately. At this time the current sales tax is 8.4%. There will be an applicable 22% service charge on all food and beverage items.

FOOD & BEVERAGEThe Sonnenalp does not permit food and beverage of any kind to be brought into the Hotel by the Customer or any of the Customer’s guests or invitees. All food, beverage and other merchandise must be purchased solely through the Hotel. The Colorado State Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco regulates the sale of alcoholic beverages. The Sonnenalp is responsible for the administration of those regulations. Colorado law prohibits alcoholic beverages to be brought in or taken out of the hotel.

PERMITSIn the event the Customer’s function requires a permit or license from any governing body; local, state or federal, the Customer is solely responsible for obtaining such licenses or permits at the Customer’s expense.

MEETING SPACEIf the confirmed attendee figures are different than those stated in the contract, an adjustment to meeting and function space may become necessary. Any changes requested after receipt of the signed contract are subject to space availability and room rental fees at that time.

ROOM FEESBased on the approximate number of guests set forth above, a food and beverage minimum will be spent at your function. This minimum does not include service charges, tax, labor charges, audio visual or any other miscellaneous charges incurred.
