The Seravezza Difference

Seravezza Events is proud to be the exclusive provider of all food and beverages for The Franklin Institute. No food or beverage of any kind may be brought into or removed from the location by either the Client or the Client’s guests. Your Catering Manager will instruct you if additional fees may be incurred.

To provide the highest quality and service, a guaranteed number of attendees/quantities of food is required. Please contact your Catering Sales Manager for additional information. If the guarantee is not received by the date stated on the contract , Seravezza Events will assume the number of persons/quantities specified on the original contracted event is the minimum guarantee.

China service is a Seravezza Events standard for all events unless disposable ware is requested. In some menu item selection scenarios, exceptions to this standard may apply. Your Catering Sales Manager will properly advise you in the planning process.

For all events with alcohol service, a Certified Seravezza Events Bartender is required. Alcohol cannot be brought in to or removed from The Franklin Institute.

Seravezza Events provides linen for most food and beverage events in our standard color offerings of black, ivory, and white. For additional décor, we are pleased to assist you with centerpieces or arrangements. Additional fees will apply for any specialty items. Your Catering Sales Manager will happily offer suggestions for your event’s appropriate style and colors.

Prices are based on a two-hour meal period for breakfast , lunch, and dinner service. Additional service time may be subject to additional fees. Break service is based on a one-hour meal period. To provide the freshest food, we must limit the chef’s table service to two hours.

Any event canceled within (30) days before the event date will incur 100% of the estimated charges. Please note that a longer window of cancellation may be necessary for specialty menus.

Labor is included within the menu pricing unless otherwise noted. Additional attendants or service staff may be requested over and above our normal staffing level for your event. These requests may incur additional labor fees. Any unusual service requirements, late-night events, or minimal revenue events may incur additional charges. Charges for specialized services, such as carvers, chefs and bartenders, may also incur additional fees beyond what is indicated within the listed menu price. Please contact your Catering Sales Manager for additional information.

A signed copy of the contract outlining all catering services must be returned to your Catering Sales Manager prior to the event before services will be confirmed or performed. The signed contract , terms, addendums, and specified function sheets constitute the entire agreement between the client and Seravezza Events.

Prices quoted are in US Dollars. Please note that all food, beverage, and related items are subject to a 22% service charge plus applicable sales taxes. The service charge is not a tip or gratuity and is not distributed to service employees. Additional payment for tips or gratuity for service, if any, is voluntary and at your own discretion.
