Thank you for choosing Parkhurst Dining at Marietta College to cater your next event! Below you will find our updated catering policies. These guidelines will help us better serve you during the planning process. To place a catering order, please contact the catering department (listed below):

When arranging catering services, we ask that you plan as far in advance as possible. Our preference is that you contact our Catering Department at least three (3) weeks before the event. The Catering Department will make every effort to satisfy your requests for functions booked less than 21 days prior to the event date, based on our availability.
Based on the service needs and logistics of your event, a deposit may be required to move forward with your event.
The client is responsible for the setup and/or rental of any tables, chairs, or equipment needed for your event. If you are renting a facility for your event, please confirm your setup needs with the venue and communicate that information to our catering department. If you need assistance or recommendations, Parkhurst Dining will be happy to refer you to the proper vendors.
Linens for any buffet tables are provided at no additional charge. Linens requested for any non-food related tables, guest seating, or special-order linens can be ordered for an additional charge. The number of linens needed for the event will need to be confirmed five (5) business days before your event so there is adequate time to order. Linen is unavailable for events that Parkhurst is not catering for or participating in.
The client is responsible for providing adequate trash receptacles for their event. Parkhurst will remove any food-related trash only at the end of your event and during your event as needed. Any trash that occurs after the end of your catering will be the client's responsibility for cleanup. If you have multiple food vendors or non-food-related trash for your event, the client is responsible for cleanup of trash.
For any delivery or catering off-campus, a $300 food order minimum is required. Pickup options are available for food orders less than $300.
A delivery/off-site catering fee will be added to the final bill based on the service needs and location of your event. If an extra attendant is requested, the following amount will be charged:
Attendant/chef charges will require one hour for setup and one hour for cleanup in addition to the scheduled time of the event. This is in addition to the charges listed above.
We reserve the right to adjust or change pricing from that printed based on location, seasonal availability and current market price of products found on our Catertrax Website. Sales tax will be added to the bill for all orders unless proof of exemption is provided. Sales tax is not added for pickup orders.
At the time of booking, we will email you a copy of the event sheet for your final approval. We ask that you confirm the event sheet through the catering department to verify that you approve the final menu and pricing. A final guaranteed number must be given to the Dining Services Catering Office no later than 72 hours (4 business days) prior to the event.
At the start of the planning process, we will offer you an estimate of your order based on your requests. A 20% deposit may be required to hold the date or confirm your order. The deposit will be applied to your final bill. Deposits will be returned in full for any events canceled within 30 days or more from the date of your event. Deposits are non-refundable for any event canceled with less than a 30-day notice.
A physical copy of your final bill will be mailed to the address on file the week after your event. Payment in full is due 30 days from the date of your event. Your bill will have an address for our corporate office where a check can be mailed. Credit card or cash payments can be processed through our business office on campus.
Parkhurst Dining at Marietta College takes exceptional care to follow recommended proper food handling procedures in the best interests of our clients and guests to help reduce the risk of foodborne illness. These guidelines include not serving or making available for service any food or beverage that was not produced or supplied by Parkhurst Dining or one of our approved vendors.
Parkhurst dining will offer beer and wine service for certain events only when catering service is ordered. The client is responsible for purchasing and delivering beer and wine to the location of the event for service. If a full-service bar is needed, a bartending service from a separate vendor will be required. Please speak to the catering team for more details.
The Catering Department reserves the right to substitute items based on product availability. We will make every attempt to inform you of this change as far in advance as possible.
