When do I tell you my final guest count?

Your catering sales manager will follow up with you 10 days before your reception to confirm your final count.  We will consider this your contracted guest count for which you will be charged even if fewer guests actually attend the event.  Should you have more guests show than anticipated we will do everything we can to accommodate in which case you will be charged for these additional guests.
