Catering & Bar Services
Mary and I have never been partial to having cookie cutter menus. With 30 years of catering experience, a commercial kitchen, and liquor license, we provide a fully customized experience. We love designing each couple’s menu because the food you are providing and sharing with our family and friends should speak to both of you. Food will also be something your guests will remember, so make it memorable with your twist! There is no additional charge for customizing, but please keep in mind that different options have different costs associated with them. Catering proposals are only provided after an event date is booked.
For on site, in house catering, we recommend budgeting approximately $120 per guest, which includes cocktail hour appetizers, dinner, then sweets OR late night snack pizza plus 4 hour open bar with the basic package. This includes standard staffing and gratuity. This does not include rentals such as linens and taxes.
After you book your wedding date with us, tastings are usually scheduled 8-9 weeks prior to date.
We offer three bar packages: Basic, Call, and Premium. The Open Bar packages are based on a 4-hour Bar service, which is average for receptions; however, the amount of time for the Open Bar and/or type of service can certainly be tailored to your needs.
Booking & Contracts
To book your event date, you’ll need to sign a venue rental agreement and provide a 30% deposit. After your date is booked, we will be able to get started on your catering proposal.
No worries! We recalculate your catering proposal based on your final timeline and guest count. The final timeline and guest count will be due 10 days prior to your event day. The final and total amount due for catering services will be due 4 days prior to the event day.
Event Planning & Logistics
We do have a list of vendors who are familiar with our venue and offer excellent services, from day of coordinators and photographers to florists and hair and makeup artists. This can be found at https://unionmillspublichouse.com/preferred-vendors.
Our staff will handle setup and breakdown of tables and chairs. All vendors are expected to setup and breakdown their own equipment. A plan for breakdown of all decorations should be made and completed by 11pm unless additional venue time is contracted.
We provide tables and chairs for wedding ceremonies, cocktail hour, and reception. We can arrange for linens through Select Event Group, and if ordered through Union Mills, we can offer a 5% discount on these services.
We are flexible with most decorations. We ask that you coordinate with us to ensure that decorations comply with venue guidelines and do not damage the property. Open flames must be surrounded by a hurricane glass and no decoration should be permanently affixed to venue surfaces by nail or tack.
Union Mills Public House has multiple spaces with different capacities, depending on how you want to setup your event. For events, we can comfortably accommodate up to 250 guests in a hybrid cocktail style seating arrangement. For weddings, we suggest…..
