Planning your event
1. Reserve the room.
Campus Dining provides catering services to multiple
locations on the campus of Saint Martin's. Classroom refreshments,
conference room plated meals, outdoor barbeques are all possibilities
on campus. Campus Dining is also the exclusive caterer for the Norman
Worthington Conference Center and Pavilion. If you are having an event
at this location it needs to be booked well in advance through the
Worthington Center Office, at 360–438–4488. Be sure to take into
account enough setup and breakdown time for your event.
2. Decide what type of event you want.
Will it be a banquet, a reception, or a coffee break?
Will your guests stand or be seated? Will it be formal, casual or “in
between”? What are your budget limitations? While not every decision
needs to be finalized right from the get go, the more you can decide on
now, the easier your planning will be.
3. Plan the event with the catering department.
The earlier its planned the better. It should be no
later than seven business days (Monday – Friday) prior to your event. Most
arrangements can be done over the phone, but some events with special
menus or room setups may require an appointment. For groups of 100 or
more we ask that you contact the catering department a minimum of 14
days prior to your event to be sure all the details have been worked
out.
Once the menu and details have been agreed on, the
catering department will send a CEO, Catering Event Order, as
confirmation for your event. Your requirement is to review the order
carefully for any discrepancies, mark the changes and return a fax copy
of the CEO with your signature.
