Catering
Dallas Heritage Village has worked hard to elevate the quality and quantity of
caterers available to our clients for rentals. We have learned through experience
that it is to everyone’s benefit to use those caterers that we have an active
relationship with, thus ensuring our clients receive both the best service and food
available. Additionally, these caterers are familiar with working here at Dallas
Heritage Village and know what we expect from them as well. We, therefore, ask
that you only use a caterer that has been approved by Dallas Heritage Village
(listed in the Rental Brochure). Approved caterers are selected for the quality
of their services, their ability to meet legal, TABC and insurance requirements,
their commitment to following museum catering guidelines, and the ability to
serve customers in all budget ranges. Dallas Heritage Village routinely monitors,
updates and alters the list of approved caterers in an attempt to create a
comprehensive list of caterers that will be appropriate for every event. If you
choose to go off of our approved catering list, there is an additional charge of
$500.00.
Dallas Heritage Village requires you to provide the Director of Sales with a copy
of your food and beverage invoice for audit purposes. If a substitute caterer is
used, that caterer must satisfy all of our requirements of the approved caterer’s
program. You are required to notify the Director of Sales at least 45 days in
advance that you are using a substitute caterer. Dallas Heritage Village retains
the right to refuse a substitute for any reason.
Dallas Heritage Village does not allow self-catering or partial self-catering
under any circumstances. All food delivered to Dallas Heritage Village must be
prepared in advance in a licensed kitchen. Use of BBQ grills with charcoal starter
or deep fryers is strictly prohibited.
Alcohol
You are permitted to have alcoholic beverages at your event. Dallas
Heritage Village, however, does not have a liquor license and
cannot take possession of or store alcohol in any form under
any circumstances. You are responsible for complying with
all applicable state and federal laws pertaining to the serving
of alcoholic beverages and for ensuring that your service provider
complies with these laws as well. Dallas Heritage Village requires only TABC certified bartenders distribute
alcoholic beverages, and we are not responsible for any damages resulting from
any failure to obtain these permits.
There is an additional $250.00 mixed beverage fee for anything other than beer,
wine and champagne, and additional liability waivers might be required. This
includes Margarita machines, frozen drink machines, etc.
Since many of our caterers do not have a full liquor license, we require the
renter to use a company that does have a full liquor license when any alcoholic
beverages are to be served. This service is contracted separately from the
catering part of your contract and will be billed to you by the company.
