Payment: The guaranteed number of guests must be confirmed seven days prior your event along with final menu and beverage selections. Final payment is due three days prior to your event and is non-refundable. The guaranteed number of guests may be increased within 7 days of your event, however, decrease in the guest count will not be permitted. No change in guaranteed guest count will be permitted within 2 days of the event. All banquet charges must be applied to one account, as WaterBarge Restaurant & Tavern cannot responsible for collection from individuals. We accept cash, Visa, MasterCard, American Express and personal checks.

Event Times:
Event times as stated in the contract are considered binding in order to insure that we may successfully service subsequent events. The Client agrees to begin its function promptly at the scheduled time and agrees to have guests, invitees and other persons vacate the designated function area at the closing hour contracted.
