Rentals which fall in-between these time slots are considered whole-day events

We can set up semi-private events for groups having less than 100 guests,
on either side of our restaurant while it is open to the public.
RECEPTIONS OVER 100 guests, your reception will require our ENTIRE RESTAURANT space, and thus we will need to close the cafe to regular business.
In order for Eden Alley Cafe to CLOSE to our regular customers, and have a PRIVATE reception for you and your guests, we require the following Minimum Catering amounts:
This amount includes food, service and Unity Room Fee; any rentals, etc. would be in addition to this number.
These minimums are based on a 3 hour catering for 100 people, including labor for the total amount of set-up, service, and clean-up/reset time. Taxation of 10.35% will be additional. Weekend rates are premium business times and thus the minimum is higher. |
The above minimums are for the restaurant CLOSING and using the entire restaurant space strictly for your event. We can also set up semi-private smaller events on either side of our restaurant, while it is open:
RECEPTIONS BETWEEN 50-100 guests, we can set-up a semi-private reception in the EAST SIDE of our restaurant, closing the curtains, while the cafe is open to regular business on the West side. (Our host area will still be utilized during regular business hours)
Minimum Catering amounts for the East side of the restaurant:
