Do you provide Food & Beverage Service?

Food may be purchased from any reputable caterer with a food license and insurance.
All caterers are responsible for:

- Cleaning of the catering tent area thoroughly.
- Our agreement with you will specify a time when all goods, equipment, furniture and supplies can be brought into the facility; as well as, when these items must be removed.
- All Dishes and Flatware required for the meal, including water glasses and water service at tables.
- The Oaks Golf Course will provide all bar supplies and glassware.
Do you provide setup of decorations or table settings?
You are responsible for the decoration of your tables. Linens, napkins, flowers, decorations, candles, chair coverings and ties can be set up by you or your vendors. A time can be decided for you to come in 60 days prior when final contract is signed and paid for.
The Oaks Golf Course would be happy to handle all set up of your decorations for you for a small fee. An estimate will be given 60 days prior to the event once all details have been decided. Linens, napkins, chair coverings and ties can all be provided by The Oaks and then will be set up by us as well.
Your chosen cater will be providing flatware and any dishes needed for dinner and they should be responsible for setting that up on the tables prior to the event starting. They will also be required to clean up those items, as well, from the guest tables.
What about flowers and decorations?
Florists and/or decorators are responsible for:
- Loading, setup, cleanup and removal of decorations, supplies and furniture.
- Removing trash – in appropriate containers – to the trash container provided at the rear of the building.
- Making sure that you use no open candles (candlesticks). All candles must be enclosed with glass or a surround higher than the candle when used on tabletops. No fireworks, sparklers or floating lanterns are allowed. It is our suggestion to use LED candles, when the tent is open, the air will blow out any votives.
- Helium or gas tanks should be placed in a non-public area to assure safety.
- If you are planning to use very large arrangements or interior fountains, let us know in advance so we can be certain to provide for security and maintenance.
- Our agreement with you will specify a time when all goods, equipment, furniture and supplies can be brought into the facility; as well as, when these items must be removed.
