Catering Services

WHAT WE DO 

·  Apple Valley will help you select one of our menus and will be happy to discuss any customizing you might like. 

·  All pricing includes biodegradable/compostable paper plates, napkins, condiments and bio-wooden utensils.

·  The buffet will be open and serving for 1-1/2 hours. 

·  We are a licensed restaurant and catering company and will be responsible for complying with any county health department rules and regulations.

WHAT THE SERVICE TEAM DOES: All service is provided and billed separately with Haute Events.

·  We will bring all tables for the buffet, tents for covering the food (if necessary), service ware, trash and recycling bins

·  We will maintain the buffet and insure that it always looks nice and has plenty of food.  Our goal is to never have the last person through the line see only one small portion of each item to choose from.  The additional food to keep the buffet looking full is our responsibility and returns with us to the restaurant at the end of your event; there is never any “leftover or wasted” food.  We do not package and leave any food behind.

·  After the meal, we will remove all food, tables and clean up all trash and recyclables.

·  Our staff will clean up and remove all equipment and leave after the food service is done.

·  A service fee will be charged based on total food and beverage based on the level of service that you choose.

·  We do offer additional servers that can stay to the end of an event when requested or required by the venue, charges for additional service are $25.00 per hour per server. Minimum 2 servers, minimum 2 hours.

·  When a venue requires a Lead or Manager be present the billing is $60 per hour

WHAT YOU DO 

·  You will pick the menu and reserve the event date by signing a contract and providing a deposit of 25% of the expected total. 

·  You will let us know at least 14 days prior to the event the final count of all guests. 

·  You will be responsible for payment for the number of guests on contract even if less are present.  Should more people than agreed to in the contract arrive then we will do our best to serve them and you will agree to pay for the total number of guests served.

·  You will be responsible for tables and chairs for your guests. (we will provide tables for buffet only)

·  In case of inclement weather, you will provide suitable shelter for the event as all catering agreements are considered “rain or shine” affairs.

·  You will choose the location for the event and are responsible for all fees and permits required for the location.
