Catering Policies
Deposit/Payment
Snow College - sponsored Catering events must be approved and rooms reserved through the building
room reservation agent before catering orders can be taken. Snow College related
events require an account number even if you are planning on paying with a P-card.
The account number will be considered the deposit for Snow College sponsored events.
Payment with a P-card is required at the time of the event.
Non Snow College – Events not sponsored by Snow College require a signed catering agreement and a credit card deposit of 50% of the invoice amount within seven days prior to event to consider the event booked. The remaining balance is due the day of the event.

An 20% catering fee and applicable sales tax will be applied to all Non Snow College
sanctioned events. Sales tax and catering fees are not included in the pricing. An
18% catering fee will not be applied to “pick up” and “drop off caterings” because
