Event Planning and Scheduling
Event planning begins when you reserve your location on the Columbus State Community College Campus. Once a Campus location has been reserved, we ask that you contact our catering office at 287-2194 to plan the menu for your event. All menus should be finalized two weeks prior to your event.
Cancellations
In the event of a cancellation, we require a 48 hour notice prior to the event. If a cancellation is made after the deadline your group will be responsible for all costs incurred prior to the cancellation.
Billing
The College Liaison's office will review all events that are charged to a College Fund Center. Money must be available in the fund center to be charged, prior to the event: otherwise the College will not authorize the event. For events that are not being billed through a College account, a 50% deposit will be required at the time of the initial planning meeting with the Catering Director. The remaining balance must be paid prior to the start of the event. A credit card number will be required with your authorization to bill any additional charges you may incur during the event. Additional charges incurred during the event will be charged at the end of the function.
Wait Staff
Wait staff service is not included at receptions for the purpose of replenishing items, passing hors d'oeuvres, and clearing china or other cater ware as it accumulates. College Dining Services will be willing to provide these services upon request at a cost of $9.50 per hour, per wait staff. There will be a minimum charge of two hours per wait staff. Additional labor charges will be incurred in cases where the event time is more than three hours from the initial serving time. Attendant serving charges are waived for the first two hours of served meals, buffets, and for complete hors d'oeuvres receptions.
Equipment
All equipment provided for a non-attendant function shall be the responsibility of the contracted group. Food, beverages and serving equipment may not be removed from any event. College Dining Services adheres to the State Health Code regarding the sanitary and responsible service of foods, and cannot accept the liability for food not properly handled when removed from a function. Therefore, food shall not be permitted to be removed from any function. Removal of serving equipment will result in replacement value being added to the billing invoice.
Linens
All prices quoted include basic linens to cover all buffet tables. Additional linens can be ordered to cover registration tables or any other tables that you may need for your event at a cost of $5.00 each. Additional tables can be clothed and skirted for a cost of $10.00 per table. Specialty linens are also available at an additional charge. Please talk to our catering director for samples of the specialty linens.
Water Service and Beverage Refresh
We can provide pitchers of ice water and service ware on your meeting room tables. This service can be provided at a cost of $1.25 per person. A refresh service is also available for your coffee and tea setups for a cost of $1.00 per person. Please notify the catering director prior to the start of your event if you would like to have your beverages refreshed.
