Fee and Rentals

Pricing and Contracts

All events contain pricing based on the menu selections, estimated number of guests, and special requirements of the event. All details relating to your event including, but not limited to, menu selections, beverage selections (Alcoholic or Non-Alcoholic), staffing, and fees will be included in your banquet event order. Once both parties have approved the terms, the content of the event, the terms and pricing will be binding. 

Deposits and Fees

A $2000 non-refundable “hold the date” deposit is due at the time of booking for weddings and large catered events. There is a $1000 non-refundable “hold the date” for other, smaller events. A 50% payment on the estimated event total is due no later than 60 days prior to the event. The estimated remaining balance is due 7 days prior to the event. 

A guaranteed minimum guest count is due 14 days before the event. The final bill will be based on the minimum guarantee or actual guest count, whichever is greater. Any remaining balance is due no later than 5 days following the event. 

Administrative fees are billed based on the event details and itinerary. Lexington Catering Company is delighted to provide you with a full-service set-up and breakdown for your special occasions. Charges incurred include management of set-up, the actual event, and clean-up. 

Gratuity

We do not include a gratuity for the staff in the proposal, as it is completely at our client’s discretion and not required. If you are impressed with the service of our staff, we welcome you to give a gratuity to the event manager that day to be dispersed evenly among the serving staff.

Menu Pricing

A menu's price is based on your selections with your event coordinator. Listed below are price ranges of average costs per guest and are for estimating reference only. Actual selections and product availability will determine the final contract pricing. 

Tastings

We encourage our clients to visit us in Lexington, Virginia to sample menu selections. This allows us to make any adjustments prior to the event based on your tastes, preferences, and overall vision.

Alcohol License

Lexington Catering Company is fully licensed and insured to vend and serve alcoholic beverages. You may provide your own alcohol. There will be a “Bar Set-Up Fee” for Wine & Beer Bars or a “Bar Mixers Fee” for Full Service Bars.

Guest Counts

We recommend you have an estimated guest count based on the number of people invited to your event. A guaranteed amount is required fourteen (14) days before the event. When planning, be sure to include outside vendors (i.e., photographer, wedding planner, DJ/band, etc.).

Uniforms

Based on your preference and style of event, our trained and professional staff will be attired in either a formal (Black Slacks, White Dress Shirt, and Tie) or casual (Black or Brown Pants and a Southern Inn Shirt) uniform. They are professional, neat, and eager to help you and your guests!

Rentals and Tabletop

Lexington Catering Company offers a large variety of tables, chairs, and linens for your event. Specialty items may also be secured from one of our preferred vendors. In most circumstances, all pricing for your event includes glassware, china, flatware, and white linen napkins. Buffets include china, flatware, and white linen napkins only. Any tablecloths needed for the event (i.e., for buffet/station tables, bar and beverage tables, dining tables, cake tables, cocktail tables, etc.) would be an additional charge.

Date Reservations

Weddings typically book 4-12 months in advance. Smaller events usually have a shorter lead time and we will work with you to the best of our ability. However, certain times of the year are in higher demand and book quickly. So, we suggest that you hold your date as soon as possible.

Setup and Cleanup

We pride ourselves in the fact that we are a full-service catering company. We will work with you to ensure your vision of the event as well as taking care of the clean-up and break-down at the end of the event.

Staff Billing

Staffing hours are billed two (2) hours prior to the event for setup, through the event, and one (1) hour after for clean-up.

Cake Cutting

Cake cutting is included in the price of the event.
