For dinner, you will have the option of round tables or banquet tables, at no additional charge. The head table can be elevated on risers, if you desire. Complimentary microphone is available for your use. Be sure to let us know if you would like any tables reserved for family & friends! We offer the following tables skirted for the reception: Cake table, Punch table, Gift table, Guest Book table, Head table and any other additional tables you may require.

Food~
Hors d'oeuvres may be served during the social hour, for dinner or during the dance.
Your wedding or themed cake from a licensed bakery is the only food or beverage item that can be brought in! Grandpa’s prohibits the removal of beverage or leftover food from leaving our facility.
Bar~
We offer full bar service. The contracting party can be as financially involved in the bar as liked. The amount that you order is what you pay for. However, you may put kegs on reserve. If these are tapped, you will be charged for the entire keg. If not, there will be no charge. We are willing to work with you to meet you requests. We can work to find hosting options that fit within your budget. If requested, we are able to put liquor and food on separate bills.
Capacity~
We can seat a maximum of 550 people in our large room, with all guests in full view of bride and groom. Also, we can seat a maximum of 150 people in our smaller room.
Deposit~
For weddings or social events, there is a deposit due with the signed letter of agreement. This deposit is non-refundable in the event of cancellation.
Decorating~
Grandpa’s will try to accommodate the time needed to decorate to your expectations. Items not allowed inside or outside Grandpa’s Garage: tape, rice, glitter, or confetti.
Count~
Your menu is prepared based on guaranteed count. For this reason, it is important that we receive your guaranteed count 10 business days prior to your function so that we may adequately order and prepare for your group. This is the minimum number you will be charged for. The final bill will reflect the actual number of guests or the guaranteed number, whichever is greater.
Menu~
Final menu selection and set-up requirements must be made at least (2) weeks prior to your function. In order for us to be prepared for the best possible service, we require a (10) business day guarantee of the number of people who will be in attendance for all food and beverage functions. The customer is responsible for giving the guaranteed count to the catering office. If a guarantee is unable to be given (10) business days in advance, we will use the estimated number stated in the original contract as the guarantee. Due to license restrictions, remaining banquet food may not be taken from the premises.
Special Menu Information~
If you would like a particular item not found here, please let us know. We will do our very best to prepare it. We feature a large selection of specialty meals and packages beyond what we have listed here. If you have special needs for your group, our staff will be happy to prepare a custom menu tailored specifically for your guests. Please contact our catering office for complete information.
Tax and Gratuity~
Food and beverage selections are subject to a 6.5% sales and a 9% liquor tax, along with a 10% minimum gratuity charge.
Payments~
All events must be paid at the conclusion of the function unless prior credit arrangements have been made. Deposits are required on group functions at the time of the booking. Deposits are not refundable upon cancellation.
Meeting Rooms~
There is a base charge for each room. Room rental fees may be reduced or waived with applicable food and beverage purchases. If a change from the original set-up is requested on the day of the function, a labor charge may be added to the check.
Cancellation of a Definite Booking~
In the event of a cancellation, and due to the high demand for our space, the applicable rental charge for the space reserved for your function will be due immediately. In the event this contract is cancelled, the deposit is refundable only if the space is re-booked with another event the same size or greater than the original event booked. In the event that the date must be moved, the deposit may be transferred to a new date.
Timing~
To ensure food of the highest quality, we prepare your meals to be served at the time requested. Should you need to adjust your mealtime, we will do everything we can to accommodate your group. However, please be aware that food quality is directly related to timeliness of food preparation and a charge may be added for late serving time.
Outside Food and Alcohol~
No food or beverage items are permitted to be brought into the Banquet Facility. The only exception would be special "theme" baked goods, such as wedding cakes. Please contact our catering department for prior approval.
Smoking Policy~
No smoking is allowed inside the banquet facility.
