Friendly, Attentive, and Professional Service

We combine all of the personal touches that have made Loyola Catering Services one of the best in the Baltimore area with the outstanding facilities at Loyola to make events to remember. Our servers are trained in the art of personalized and professional service and our catering chef, Joseph Jackson, is a creative and inspired culinarian.

Arranging and Reserving a Date

Please contact the catering office at least five business days prior to your event. Most arrangements can be made by phone; others may require an appointment with one of our catering personnel. We can help you make all the necessary decisions as to which of the services we offer best suits your needs. After we have finalized the details of your special event, you will receive an event confirmation form. A copy of this contract needs to be signed and returned to us prior to your event.

Guarantees

To ensure proper service, we must have a final guarantee of the number of guest to be served no later than 72 hours prior to your event. Your guaranteed number of guests represents the minimum billing. Should the number of guests in attendance exceed the number guaranteed, you will be billed accordingly. If you do not contact us with a final count within the 72 hours, we will prepare for the estimated number of guests and bill accordingly.

Billing Procedure

For all Loyola departments, a budget number is required upon the finalization of the service to be provided. Catering requests must be signed and returned to the catering office a minimum of 72 hours before the event. Any event booked with in 48 hours will be charged a $25 service fee. If your catering event will be paid through private funds (other than Loyola budget numbers), a 50% deposit at least one week in advance is necessary. The balance will be due the day of the event. A credit card can also be used to guarantee payment.

Cancellations

If you find it necessary to cancel your event later than the 72 hours prior to the event, any expense incurred will be billed to the provided budget number or credit card.
