What is the “guaranteed guest count” and when is it due?

A “guaranteed guest count” is the amount of people you expect to attend your wedding ceremony and/or reception. This is due 7 business days prior to your wedding day by 12:00 pm. For example, if your wedding is on a Saturday, your due date would be the Thursday the week before your wedding. Once you have guaranteed a specific number, that number cannot be decreased, but it may be increased (upon approval from management). If a guarantee isn’t given, then the tentative number on the food and beverage contract (BEO) will be considered the guarantee for the event.
