Special Event Guidelines

To reserve a room for a private event, we require a food and beverage minimum charge. These charges are designed for our two dining areas, and are set for weekday and weekend reservations. In addition to the food and beverage minimums, we charge 18% gratuity and add 9.25% tax to the amount of the final bill. Payment is due in full at the conclusion of the event. We accept cash, Visa, Master Card or American Express. We do not accept personal or business checks.

Mezza Luna will make a courtesy phone call a week prior to your event finalizing the guest count.  We need a guaranteed guest count 3 days prior to the event.  Mezza Luna will charge according to the final guest count, or actual number of guests, whichever is greater. If the final guest count is not received by the date indicated on your proposal, Mezza Luna will use the expected number of guests from the first page of the final contract, and will charge accordingly. Mezza Luna reserves the right to charge the full amount of the initial guests reserved. To secure the date and time for your event, a credit card deposit is required to hold your reservation.

A pastry cutting fee of $1.50 per person (final guest count) will be added for all customer supplied cakes or pastries. In addition, a corkage fee of $25.00 will be added for each customer supplied bottle of wine (750ml bottle). All decorations must be approved first by Mezza Luna management.
