Banquet Policies

Menu Selections
Kindly advise your Sales Manager of your menu selections at your earliest convenience, but no later than 30 days prior to your scheduled function.

Guarantees
To ensure that your organization receives the best possible service, we do require that your Sales Manager be notified of the exact number of guests attending a function 72 hours prior to the event (if the event falls on a Monday or Tuesday, the guarantee is due on the previous Thursday). This will be considered a guarantee for which you will be charged even if fewer guests attend. The hotel will prepare and set for the guarantee.

Alcoholic Beverages
The sale and service of all alcoholic beverages is regulated by the New York State Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco. The Hilton Lake Placid Resort is responsible for the administration of those regulations. It is a policy, therefore, that no alcoholic beverages or food may be brought into the hotel for any function.

Decorations/Signage/Literature
Decorations or displays brought into the Hilton Lake Placid Resort must be approved prior to arrival. Items may not be attached to any wall, floor, window, or ceiling with nails, staples, tape or any other substance in order to prevent damages to the fine fixtures and furnishings.

No signage of any kind is permitted in the Lobby. Professional signage only will be permitted in the Conference Center and public areas (no flipcharts or blackboards). Any printed forms or literature pertaining to the use of the Hilton Lake Placid Resort logo must have prior approval from the hotel.


Subcontractors/Policy Agreement
Client agrees to have any subcontracted companies (decorators, audiovisual, production companies, etc.) abide by all hotel policies and regulations. It is understood that the premises will be left in a neat and orderly condition, free of debris or display refuse, no later than the completion date and time. Based on time and labor, a group will incur additional charges for the removal of the group's materials by the hotel staff at the close of any event.

Outdoor Events
In order to assure a successful event, the Hilton Lake Placid Resort staff will reconfirm the weather forecast for your evening event by 2 p.m. that day. Due to our fluctuating weather, if the weather report predicts a 40 percent or more probability of rain for the afternoon or evening, your outdoor function will be relocated to your inside backup area. All entertainment that is outside of the hotel must conclude no later than 9 p.m. This is in accordance with local ordinances and to respect the needs of other hotel guests.

Pricing
There will be an applicable 17 percent (17%) service charge and eight percent (8%) sales tax on all food and beverage charges. Prices are subject to change; pricing is guaranteed 60 days prior to the function date.
