Beer and Wine can be purchased by the following:

Cash Bar: Paid by individual guests ~ Beer is sold by the bottle, Wine by the glass

Open Bar: Paid by client ~ Wine is sold by 750 ml bottle or 1.5 ml bottle. Beer is sold by the bottle. (Keg purchase is available in some instances by prior arrangement.)

Client provides own Wine: In the instance that our clients wish to provide their own wine, a wine “Corking Fee” will apply: $10 per 750 ml bottle; $15 per 1.5 ml bottle.

All beer must be provided by AFR

In-House Catering: All prepared food must be provided by AFR with the exception of Wedding or Birthday Cakes, which must be prepared by a legitimate Bakery with a “Health Department Approved Kitchen”.

AFR prepares ample portions for its guests plus an appropriate percentage to allow for additional, “last minute” guests. When guests have been served, any left over food remains the property of AFR, which reserves the right to donate food to approved charity organizations or to be properly disposed. Health safety requirements hinder AFR from giving temp-sensitive food to clients who are traveling, reheating, etc., which would no longer be under the supervision of AFR.

In-House Event Planning: AFR has an in-house event planner/wedding coordinator, this service is optional. Fees are based upon services requested and are quoted separately. Our event quote/estimate process will be completed exclusively with the client regardless of whether or not an outside event planner has been previously contracted. Once the menu has been accepted and date booked, we will be happy to work along-side private event contractors on additional details.

Event Quotes: ONE complimentary quote/estimate is provided. Major menu changes are subject to a $50/hr fee and will become part of the event balance. Minor changes/revisions are complimentary. Our quote Process begins with client viewing menu choices and providing AFR with budget requirements, interview by phone, e~mail or in person to make final choices, estimate created and sent to client. Accepted estimate and payment process begins.

Deposits/Payment Schedule: A minimum of the facility and /or estimated staffing charges is due for deposit and is required at the time of booking.
