OUR Menus

• Children under 12 are 50% of the normal menu price unless your menu includes a kid-specific menu choice.

• We will finalize this total at your 2 week out meeting.

• A typical wedding day is 10 hours.
  

• Typical dinner parties are approximately 6-7 hours.
  

• Our Event Coordinator will review your event logistics 2 weeks prior to your event and then assess actual staffing needs. Service is of utmost importance to us.

• Please trust that we will gather all of the information that we need in order to assemble the perfect team and ensure that all of the details of your event are executed seamlessly. Reid’s is a Certified Living Wage Company.

• REID'S does not provide tabletop rentals, linens or glassware for large parties. Your event planner can assist you in putting together a rental order for these items. We will review your rental order two weeks prior to your event.

• Please note, our recommendation is that you order 10% extra of tableware items and at least 20 extra linen napkins. Glassware varies greatly depending on your bar details. In most cases, you will need to order 2 glasses per person for each category and also have plasticware as a backup in the event that glassware runs out

• You will also need to include enough rental items for vendor meals.
  If your menu is a buffet, we will bring all serving platters and utensils.

• We do ask that florals or similar decor is taken into account for any service tables: Buffet Tables, Dessert Tables, Bars.

• You are more than welcome to bring your own alcohol and we can provide all mixers, ice, coolers etc.

• If we are providing bartending services with a full bar, we will provide all of the mixers [coke products, fever tree waters].

• We do bring sodas for mixers but not enough to serve as a stand alone beverage. If you have a soda drinking crowd, we encourage you to bring your own sodas for us to serve.

• The bar set up fee includes ice, coolers, chillers, wine openers, cocktail napkins, etc.

• You will need to pull a NC Special Use Permit if you are providing your own liquor for your event. https://abc.nc.gov/Permit/QualificationLSO/

• REID’S upholds a strict “No Shots” from the bar policy for all events.

• Please inquire if you would like for REID’S to supply the alcohol for your event. Custom packages are available.

• REID'S cannot provide bar for an outside bar if the temperature is below 55 degrees.

• The current pricing for vendor meals is $35 per person. **Please note that this number is variable and dependent on the current market and food cost.

• We prefer not to have vendors go through a buffet line and instead will prepare plates for them from the kitchen. This will happen after all guests have eaten.

• If you have vendors who need to eat prior to dinner, you will need to make other arrangements for them. Typically bands are the only vendors who would fall into this category.

• Be sure to list all vendors who will be needing a meal. Vendors that will typically require a meal: Planners, DJs, photo and video team [including second shooters], shuttle drivers, venue managers and staff.
