• How much will It cost?
There is a minimum that you must spend in hosted food and beverage to use a function room. Many factors determine the minimum including event date, time of day for the event, which room you want, and how far in advance you are making your reservation. Please check with the Catering Department for the minimum for your specific event.

• Where do I start?
Getting a contract from the Director of Catering for the space is the first step. Once you have done this, you will not need to meet with the Catering Staff until 30-45 days before the event. This is when you will select your menu, determine linen colors, discuss the arrangement of the room, etc. Any time prior to your event, you are welcome to re-visit the event space or call 505-822-0422 Ext 228 to have your questions answered.
