Food Menus:
Menu options are provided as guidelines to assist you in planning for your reception. We specialize in customizing menus to accommodate your personal preferences. A service charge of 20% and a Maine sales tax of 7% will be applied to all food charges. The Potting Shed Banquet Hall provides all food and beverages for all functions.

Alcoholic Beverages:
The Potting Shed has a full bar available to you. For your reception, you may choose a bar package or choose to have a cash bar, where guests pay individually. There are several ways we can operate the bar to fit your needs. A service charge of 20% and the Maine sales tax of 7% will be applied to all beverage charges. A credit card will be required for all open bar events. The Potting Shed does not tolerate excessive drinking and will stop serving to those who disregard this. Alcoholic beverages must remain within your function parameters, and cannot be removed from the property.

Hired Services:
Our Banquet Coordinator would be more than happy to help in the assistance of scheduling your hired services, (i.e., DJ, cake, flowers, limo, etc). Please ask about this service to help relieve some of the stress involved in scheduling for a more relaxed reception. A list of local services that The Potting Shed recommends is available to you in the back of this packet to help with your planning. Decorations, staging, electrical equipment, etc., must all be in compliance with the codes of our local Fire Department. Decorations must be removed from the premises after the function. The Hall is not responsible for decorations left after that time. Management reserves the right to limit sound levels and type of entertainment.

Functions:
The Banquet Hall is rented at $500 for a five-hour reception. If more time is desired it will need to be discussed with our Banquet Coordinator prior to the event. $150 will be charged for each additional hour and will not exceed a seven-hour function. Pricing for orchard ceremonies are based on type of set-up involved. Our Banquet Coordinator would be happy to discuss these prices with you.

Deposits, Payments & Additional Fees:
At the time of booking, a $300 non-refundable deposit is required to hold your function date and time. Sixty days prior to your event, dinner menus, seating arrangements, beverage service, approximate minimum of attendance and other details must be finalized. Three weeks prior to your event, a final guest count (this may only increase from previous count given ) and any last details must be finalized. All of the above will only ensure a flawless reception. The final balance is payable one week prior to your event. Other details will also be outlined in your personal event contract. Speak with our Banquet Coordinator should there be any concerns or questions.
