Caterers

Although not required, the Mansion staff believes the renter is best served by choosing a caterer from its list.  These caterers can offer a wide range of choices, elegant presentations, and a service staff that will accommodate your wishes.  Their reputations have been built on many satisfied customers.  These licensed caterers own their own businesses and carry required liability insurance.  As a matter of policy, neither the Grant-Humphreys Mansion or the Colorado Historical Society receive any kind of compensation from any of our suggested companies.

The caterers provide the linens, dishes, glassware, and other rental items needed.  They are responsible for moving furniture; the set-up of chairs, guest tables, and serving tables; and will break-down all furniture and return rental items to assigned storage areas.  They are required to clean-up in compliance with the Mansion’s guidelines.  Their bartender will be responsible for the bar service.

The caterer is to schedule a planning meeting with the renter and the Mansion staff the month prior to the rental date.  At this meeting, all event details are finalized.

If a caterer who is not on the mansion’s suggested list is selected by the renter, a damage deposit of  $ 250.00 may be charged in order to assure that the mansion’s Use Guidelines and all of its procedures are followed.  This deposit would be refunded if there are no violations of the mansion’s policies.

Alcohol Policy

Alcoholic beverages may be served for 3 ½ consecutive hours during a seven hour rental event.  If an additional hour of event time is purchased, alcoholic beverages may be served for a maximum of 4 hours and 15 minutes.  The bar time begins with the serving of the first alcoholic drink.  No alcohol may be consumed during the set-up, in changing rooms, or outside the Mansion after the bar has closed.

The bar is to be continuously staffed by a qualified bartender provided by the catering company.  No alcohol will be served to guests under 21 years of age.  The bartender will refuse service to inebriated guests.  The Mansion Representative has the authority to close the bar and end the event if guest conduct gets out of hand.  Abuse of the mansion’s alcohol policies may result in the termination of the event.

Open bottles of wine on guest tables, kegs, and cash bars are not allowed.  The bar is to close at the time specified on the Rental Agreement without a “last call.”

Alcohol delivery must be scheduled with the Mansion staff.  All alcohol is to be removed from the Mansion at the end of a private event.  Corporate groups may store alcohol overnight for pickup the next day.
