Catering Services For Your Event:
Food service can make a special day extraordinary. Unlike many venues you have the option of selecting a caterer that matches your style and needs. We maintain a list of caterers who have provided excellent food and service for events at the Castle.
Caterers on the Approved Caterer List have met the requirements of the Castle Tea Room and have conducted successful events. If you would like to use a caterer that is not on the list they must first be approved. Caterers must provide staff to set for the event, monitor food/beverage, clean up during, and after the event. Drop off catering is not allowed.
For some small (30 people or less), or simple events the host may be allowed to bring simple refreshments with advance approval.
Available Service Items:
Depending on the type of event and set the following may be available for your event:
- Castle China Service ~ Full dinner service for 60 ~ basic reception service for 150, including silverware.
- Castle Furnishings ~ Tables and chairs for any interior event, exterior chairs are limited.
- Castle Tablecloths and Napkins ~ The Castle does own some basic tablecloths and cloth napkins that may be available for some events.
Price Considerations:
Pricing is determined based on a number of considerations:
- Day of week ~ Time of day ~ Number of expected guests
- Type of function including service style ~ The complexity of set up(decorations, deliveries, and use of service areas)
- Rate quotes are not final until written into an agreement, they are given for informational purposes and may change if event parameters change.
Reservations and Booking Policy:
Dates may be held as reserved, but reservations only entitle the holder the opportunity to book the date. Reservations are temporary and expire after two weeks.

Upon the signing of a new contract for a replacement group, your payment to date will be refunded, less 10% of the rental fee or $50 cancellation whichever is higher.
