Two Weeks Prior to Your Function:
You must select your menu.  For a seated dinner, this means choosing three entrees, three desserts, and one starch for your event. 

One Week Prior to Your Function:
We will need the final number of guests attending the function and the final counts on each menu item.  At this time, we will finalize the plan for your function by scheduling staff and ordering product to prepare for your exact number of guests.  We will not accept any changes to the menu or guest count after this time. 
The customer and a representative of Shackleford's, Next Door will sign a function sheet at this time that will define the details of the event.

There may be additional costs associated with custom arrangements such as linens, floral arrangements, staffing, etc. Please review all costs with the Banquet Manager.
Please note the undersigned client agrees to spend a “minimum value” of $750.00 in total banquet sales for any evening banquet function.  This minimum value includes all products sold, room rental, tax, service charge, and any additional charges.  If the client fails to spend the minimum value, he/she agrees to pay, in addition to the total bill, the difference between the total bill and the $750.00.
