BOOKING PROCESS
A non-refundable deposit of $100 and signed contract is required to secure the private space (sent via DocuSign). The deposit is credited back to your final bill.
A credit card is required to be retained on file for all private events. If you would like to use a different form of payment at the conclusion of the event, your event coordinator will notate your preferences on your finalized event order.
Separate or split checks are not permitted; Sugo will present one final bill at the conclusion of the event with applicable state tax and 22% gratuity included.
*Events pursuing the “cash bar” option will have an automatic 22% gratuity added to all guest checks.
GUARANTEES & CANCELLATIONS
Guest count confirmations are used to ensure our Chefs and staff are prepared and able to provide you with the best experience possible.
Sugo requires a confirmed guest count no less than five days prior to the date of the event.
The confirmed guest count is the number of people that you will be charged for at the conclusion of the event.
Should you need to cancel your event with us, we require a minimum of five days’ notice prior to the date of the event. Notice of cancellation after that period will result in a $25 per person fee (based on the estimated number of guests provided at the time of booking), applicable taxes, and a 20% service fee being charged to the card on file.
DECOR & MISCELLANEOUS
DECOR
Access to our private space for décor related purposes is permitted one hour before the scheduled start time of the event. Please keep this in mind when planning your event.
We ask that decor be dropped off 24 hours’ before the event whenever possible so that our staff can assist with setting up the room in a timely fashion.
MISC.
Children under the age of 12 will not be charged at set menu price based on the menu package chosen. We are happy to accommodate meals prepared off our kids’ menu (charges will be based on items ordered).
Children ages 12 and up will be considered part of the final guest count and charges will reflect as such.
All children attending an event should be included in the finalized guest count so we can ensure we are staffed properly and have an adequate number of seats available.
Dietary and allergy restrictions need to be communicated during the planning process; we cannot guarantee modifications of the chosen menu items without prior knowledge.
Minimum spends allow for exclusive use of our spaces for up to (but not to exceed) 3.5 hours. Should you require additional time in one of the spaces, extended use fees may apply based on the demands of the restaurant.
THE SUGO EXPERIENCE
It takes A LOT of work to plan, execute (and clean up) a party.
It can often feel like there are infinite moving pieces, parts, & unexpected headaches: supplies that are lost during delivery or won’t arrive on time, vendors who get your order wrong, decor that looks totally different when you order it and no matter how many times you rearrange it, cakes that need to be ordered, linens that need to be steamed (you get the idea…).
And yet - we take on the planning process over and over again because we want to celebrate life’s meaningful, beautiful, celebratory, and milestone moments with those closest to us.
We take pride in having the opportunity to create memories for our guests. We understand that each event we host is significant, unique, and important - and we treat them that way. Everyone on our team - from our event coordinators to our Chefs to our vendors - work together to create your idea of the perfect celebration. Our process is designed to be organized, seamless, and put the stress of planning onto our shoulders, so you can enjoy the party.
Hosting an event with us includes the following accommodations:
Custom-designed menus
Color-coordinated table linens & napkins (while this service is usually offered at no additional charge, certain table linen sizes may incur a service fee; your event coordinator will notify you immediately if this is the case).
Decor assistance: because our team works closely with you during the planning process, we are able to communicate with our service staff to expedite the setup and decorating process quickly, efficiently, and accurately.
In-house florist with over a decade of event-based design, including wedding receptions, rehearsal dinners, baby showers, memorial luncheons, graduations, and bridal showers.
Custom food and alcohol menus designed to accommodate dietary/allergy as well as budgetary requirements.
A full-service, personalized experience: our events staff will oversee the setup, breakdown, and cleanup of your party!
