Otherwise, the expected number listed on the catering contract will be used as the guaranteed number of guests, and any costs for number of persons exceeding the guaranteed count will be added accordingly. It is the responsibility of the client to send food selections and final headcount to the event coordinator at least TWO WEEKS prior to the event.
