Group Sales Catering Policies

So that we may serve you better, please review the following Service Policies.

Food and Beverage

All food, wine, and liquor must be supplied by La Playa. All catered food and beverage must be consumed on the premises during the event time. Menus are 3 course minimum. Split entrées (maximum of two choices) will all be billed at the highest entrée price and require client to provide place cards for each guest. La Playa buffets will be replenished for the first 1½ hours of the function, based on the guarantee. All buffets with less than the minimum will be charged an extra $5 per person fee. All food and beverage prices are subject to change and availability.

Liquor Policy

Our Catering Department can provide hosted or no-host bar set-ups. There will be a $100.00 bartender fee for all bar set-ups and a two hour minimum. If total bar sales meet or exceed a $350.00 minimum, then the bartender fee will be waived. La Playa does not allow liquor of any kind to be brought into our banquet/meeting rooms, Gazebo areas and hospitality suites.

Room Rental Fees

A room rental and/or a set-up fee may apply for private dining and meeting facilities.

Service Charges

A service charge of 18.5% will be added to all food and all hosted beverage prices. All charges, including gratuity, are subject to California State sales tax of 8.25%.

Guarantees

La Playa Hotel must be informed of your exact attendance by 11:00 am, 72 hours prior to your function. Guarantees for Saturday, Sunday and Monday functions must be received by 11:00 am Wednesday. We will consider this number the guarantee, which is not subject to reduction. The Hotel cannot be responsible for service over 5% of the guarantee. If the Hotel does not receive the guarantee according to these guidelines, the number "expected" will be considered the guarantee and used for set-up, food preparation and billing.

Cancellation Policy

If a meal function is cancelled less than 60 days before your group arrives 50% of the estimated cost will be due. If the function is cancelled less than 30 days before a meal function, the Hotel requires that 100% of the estimated revenue, based on menu and function arrangements, be paid in full.

Audio Visual Equipment

The Hotel has standard audio visual equipment available. Other audio visual equipment is provided by an outside source. Our Catering Department will assist in securing the equipment needed with a minimum of 48 hours notice. Charges will be billed to master account.

Function Room Assignment

Function rooms are assigned based on the number of guests anticipated. We reserve the right to change groups to a room suitable for the attendance, with notification, if attendance drops below the number needed to secure the function room.

Personal Property

La Playa Hotel is not responsible for lost, stolen, broken or forgotten articles. Any personal property should be removed from the premises at the end of the function. Items left behind will be held in our lost and found department for 30 days.
