Bar

Open Bar

The most cost effective way to manage your open bar, would be to offer draft beer, wine by the glass and soda by the glass, with liquor sold by the bottle.

We would place a cap on your bar, so that you have control over how much is spent.

Policies, Guarantees and Contract

Guarantee
All functions will need a firm guarantee as to the numbers attending 48 hours prior to the occasion. This guaranteed number is the minimum number that will be billed. Any extra guests will be billed on a per person basis.

Length of Reception
The Gran View will allow a five-hour period from the end of dinner, which is essentially cake cutting, and for dancing. If the party would like to continue, there will be a $100.00 surcharge per hour.

A Jacuzzi suite will be complimented to the bride and groom on the night of the wedding. This complimented room is non-transferable and is not refundable in case of non-use.

Deposits will be required on all wedding receptions. A $1,000.00 deposit will be required upon booking the function date and an additional $1,500.00 deposit will be required six months prior to the function date. Deposit will be applied to the cost of the Reception. Deposits are nonrefundable.

Payment
An estimate of the final bill will be done at our last meeting, the week of the wedding. This bill will be done based on your guarantee and bar estimate. Ninety percent of the estimate will be due at the final meeting with the balance paid either the night of the wedding or the following morning.

Wedding Ceremonies
There will be a $300.00 set up fee for wedding ceremonies performed at the Gran-View. In addition, if you would like chairs for the ceremony, there will be a $1.50 charge per chair including setup.

Lodging
Once the Gran-View has received your deposit, we will book your Jacuzzi suite and open a group booking in our computer. This will allow your guests to reserve rooms at a better rate structure up through the day of the reception. If you would like us to reserve a group of rooms for your reception you will need to call the Hotel and request that inventory be put into your group booking. All unused inventory will be released four weeks prior to the reception. The cancellation policy is 24 hours prior to arrival. A two night minimum policy is not required.

Planning Schedule

First Meeting – The first meeting gives us a chance to meet each other, I usually do not take many notes. It is primarily an information and idea session.

Second Meeting – The second meeting is our planning session. This meeting will allow me to take detailed notes about your wedding. We will establish your time line, a vendor list, linen colors, menu and bar selections and discuss what items you will be bringing for the setup.

Final Numbers – Usually about three weeks prior to the wedding you would call me with your final numbers. They should be very accurate. We will do two things.
1) Establish our final meeting time and date
2) I will create and email your final seating chart.

Final Meeting – Our final meeting is usually early the week of your wedding. At this meeting we will review all of our notes on your wedding, you will bring me your seating chart, and all of the items that the Gran-View will need to set your wedding

Lou’s Schedule – Except for major holidays or special functions I take Sundays off. My meeting schedule is very flexible often meeting in the evenings or on Saturdays. In season I often will not return calls on weekends for I am working events.
