Question 9

What’s included in your starting rental fee?

Accepted Answer

We do not charge a rental fee for our spaces, rather, we charge food and beverage minimums based on the space selected, number of guests, per-person food and beverage packages chosen, and event date and time. All food and beverage charges are applied to that minimum, and if not met, the minimum will be billed as a rental. You may spend over the minimum requirement. Included with the space are our in-house tables and chairs, standard white linens, SONA Home bone china, standard glassware and flatware. We provide candles throughout the space and customizable printed menus.

A 50% deposit and signed contract are required for all bookings. Final payments will be processed upon conclusion of the event. Deposits are refundable if the cancellation occurs 90 days prior to the event for our main dining room, 30 days prior for our private dining room. After that point the deposit is non-refundable. The total estimated due is collected for cancellations within 30 days from the event for our main dining room and 10 days from the event for our private dining room.

Question 11

Do you charge any additional fees?

Accepted Answer

We charge a taxable administration fee of 3-5% depending on the space reserved. In addition, we suggest a minimum 20% gratuity for the service staff. Additional services such as florals, dance floor and other decor installations are also chargeable. Our tax rate is 8.875% and applies to all charges except gratuity.
