Gatewood Club - Planning An Event

Event Planning Information for Clubhouse & Catering

Your special event can be planned several different ways - served, buffet dinners or hors d'oeuvres. Our trained staff will be happy to assist you in selecting the best type of event for your needs and also assist you in choosing your food and beverages. All food must be purchased through The Gatewood Club with the exception of wedding, anniversary, birthday or grooms cakes. If you have a specific selection that you do not see offered, please discuss this with our Catering Manager. White linen tablecloths and a choice of several colors of linen napkins are available and included in the cost of functions on site.

A minimum food and beverage purchase of $1000 is required for functions utilizing the entire clubhouse on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. For weeknight events utilizing the entire clubhouse Tuesday - Thursday a $500 minimum food and beverage purchase is required. Smaller rooms are available with a $200 minimum food and beverage purchase.

It is the policy of The Gatewood Club that food remaining at the conclusion of an event is not allowed to be taken from the Club. The only exception is a bridal box, which is kept on refrigeration.

Host must call The Gatewood Club with guaranteed number of guests according to the following guidelines: Five (5) days in advance for weekday events; Seven (7) days in advance for weekend events; Ten (10) days in advance for Wedding Rehearsal Dinners and Wedding Receptions. The guaranteed number is not subject to reduction; however, any additional charges will be made accordingly.

Full payment of the projected total for the event is due when the final guaranteed number of guests is given. In the event you have expenses that are above and beyond the projected total, such as additional guests, bar expenses, gratuity and SC sales tax computation and any last minute items ordered, The Gatewood Club will invoice you.

At the end of 30 days an additional $250.00 is due. In the event the function is cancelled, the $500.00 deposit is non-refundable. Within 10 days following the event, final accounting will be completed and your deposit will be returned less any additional expenses or damages that have been incurred.

It is the responsibility of the Host to arrange for all decorations and personal items to be removed from the premises immediately after the function. The Gatewood Club is not responsible for anything left behind and an additional fee may be imposed for extensive cleaning by the Gatewood staff to remove decorations, etc.
