Mount Hood Wedding Receptions

The Resort at The Mountain's commitment is to provide exceptional service and generous hospitality. The following guidelines and information are offered to ensure the fine quality of your event.

Guarantee

For the various Resort departments to prepare properly for your successful event(s), a final attendance number must be determined and communicated to your Catering Manager by 12 PM five (5) business days prior to the event. This number will be considered a guarantee not subject to reduction. Charges will be assessed accordingly. The Resort will set 5% over the guarantee up to a maximum of 100 covers and will serve five (5) guests over a guarantee over 100. The Resort will not be responsible for identical service to more than 5% over the guarantee.

Menu selections are due a minimum of eight (8) weeks prior to the event; we will gladly accommodate special dietary requests. Please advise if you plan to utilize meal tickets for food or beverage.

Based on a minimum of twenty-five (25) guests, we respectfully request to limit the main course selections to two (2). For smooth service, please accept the responsibility to identify the main course selections at the time of service as well as for providing the count for each main course selection at the time of the five-day guarantee.
