FOOD & BEVERAGE
With the exception of specialty cakes, all food and beverages served must be provided by Pretty Estates Resort. Banquet food is not permitted to leave the banquet facilities.
In order to confirm your selections, please provide your menu and wine choices to the Events Manager 30 days prior to your event. The client is responsible for making sure this information is received on time. Modifications to menus must be arranged with the Events Manager. Children between the ages of 6 and 12 are billed at 50% of the buffet menu price. Children 5 and under do not have a cost associated with the buffet dinner. Regular, per person pricing applies for all plated meals served to children.
It is the responsibility of the client to advise the final guaranteed number for the banquet to the Events Coordinator by noon, 30 days in advance. If no guarantee is received, Pretty Estates Resort will charge for the number of persons estimated on the catering contract or the actual number attending, whichever is greater.
In accordance with BC liquor laws, all alcoholic beverages must be purchased by Pretty Estates Resort through the BC liquor Distribution Branch, and consumed in licensed areas.
SPECIALITY CAKES
As Pretty Estates does not have a bakery department, speciality cakes must be purchased through outside vendors. A $2 per person charge will be applied to your account for cutting and plating the cake.
RESTRICTIONS
Neither the contractee nor their guests are permitted to bring any alcoholic beverages onto the property or to take alcoholic beverages purchased at Pretty Estates Resort outside the designated consumption areas as outlined by the Liquor Control Board. The organizer accepts all responsibility for any resulting injury or damage.
MUSIC
By law, if there is dancing or the playing of music we must collect and remit a SOCAN fee (Society of Composers, Authors, and Music Publishers of Canada). Based on our liquor licence all music must stop when the bar closes.
NON-EXCLUSIVITY
Pretty Estates Resort is a public venue and is under no obligation to close off any area of the property to accommodate an event. We do not guarantee that other events will not be booked at Pretty Estates Resort or that other guests may be on site the day of the event.
DELIVERIES & SET-UP
By pre-arrangement Pretty Estates Resort will accept delivery of materials required for your function, no earlier than one day prior. All items must be clearly labelled with the function date and name of the host. Pretty Estates Resort cannot be held responsible for any items that are lost or damaged.
LIMITATION OF PRETTY ESTATES RESORTS’ LIABILITY
