Fee Structure
We are committed to keeping our prices affordable. There are three basic fees associated with utilizing the Event Center: facility rental, food service/kitchen use fee, and Event Host fee.
Rental Rates
The facility rental rate includes the exclusive use of banquet hall, porch, gazebo, restrooms, parking area, chairs, tables, and the set-up and breakdown of your event. You may have access to the Center between the hours of 8 a.m. to midnight based on availability. The base rental is based on the number of guests attending your gathering. Please see the information packet above for rates.
Food Arrangements
Clients are welcome to provide their own food and/or have their guests bring covered dishes. You will need to provide all serving pieces related to your food. A nominal food service/kitchen use fee is assessed based upon the number of guests attending your event:
| Number of People | 1-25 | 26-50 | 51-100 | 101-200 | 201-300 | 301+ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fee | $25 | $50 | $75 | $125 | $200 | $250 |
Many clients choose to engage the services of a professional licensed caterer when arranging for their food. Your caterer will be required to provide appropriate documentation in order to use the facility. The caterer is assessed 10% of their total invoice before taxes as a fee for conducting business at Northeast Park and using the facilities. This charge will appear on the bill you receive from your caterer, not on your Northeast Park bill.
Wine and beer may only be provided by Northeast Park Event Center clients for their guests. All wine and beer inventory must be overseen, dispensed, and served by our professional bar-tending staff during a three (3)-hour scheduled bar. All liquor must be purchased and served by a professional licensed caterer with the appropriate ABC permits and by bartenders provided by that caterer. Under no circumstances is brown bagging permitted. Paid security officers may also be required for the event. The charge is $40 per officer, per hour.
Event Hosts
Event Hosts are present to ensure clients enjoy a successful and stress-free event. An Event Host must be present during all hours the facility is occupied. The fee for the Event Host is $15/hour. The Event Host will be in the building and available throughout your event, remain until all guests have left, and they will perform a final inspection at the conclusion of the event.
Lease Agreement, Deposit, Cancellation, and Final Payment
Reservation and deposit: Your reservation will be confirmed when we receive a signed copy of the Event Center Lease Agreement, Rental Estimate, and Policies, along with the advance deposit. The advance deposit is the sum of the room rental rate plus $100.
Final Payment
Your balance will be due in full no later than 10 days prior to the date of your event. Payments made after this date must be made in cash or by credit card. Any incidental expenses incurred on the date of your event will be due by the end of the event.
Cancellation
If you must cancel your event for any reason, a written notice is required. The $100 is non-refundable and is retained in the event of cancellation. If the event is held it is applied to your balance. If a cancellation is received in writing with at least 90 days notice, the room rental portion of the advance deposit is returned. If the cancellation is within 90 days of the event, the room rental portion of the advance deposit is also retained unless the space is re-rented to someone else.
Clean-up Requirements
Customers are expected to clear their tables of all trash and place all disposables in the trash cans provided by the facilities, remove anything they brought in for the event, and leave the kitchen in the condition in which it was found. If this is not done, a $100 clean-up fee will be assessed to the customer.
Additional Amenities
Table linens, LCD projector, screen, television, DVD player, sound system, and podium are available to you at nominal cost.
