Meals are served banquet style. In addition to the plated main meal the salad bar is provided at lunch and dinner. Breakfast generally includes eggs, toast station, fruit/yogurt and granola bar.
In our post covid world, we now serve plated meals. Similar to at a wedding, you select your meal plan when you register. Our hosts will bring your plate to your table. Ensure you have picked up your flower from the host stand if you have any dietary restrictions or allergies. We continue to encourage our guests to bus their own dirty dishes.
