We pride ourselves in being able to meet everyone’s catering needs. The following steps will help you through the process of organizing your special function

Even if the date of the event is only tentative, please make arrangements with the catering department so that we can at least get you on our records. All other information such as location, number of guest, time of the function, and menu selection, need to be decided at least 10 business days before the function. You may contact the catering department at 508.541.1916. Dean College groups are required to complete a facilities request form online two weeks prior to the event.

The location of the event needs to be determined before we can schedule the event. Reserving the room and ordering equipment needs to be arranged by you by completing the online facilities request form. For further assistance, please contact the facilities department at 508.541.1688 or online at https://mydean.dean.edu/mydean/facilities/index.cfm

All event orders must be placed a minimum of 10 business days prior to the event. Final counts are required three days prior to the event. Any changes or cancellations must be confirmed three business days prior to the event. This will ensure our ability to meet your needs from both a food and staffing perspective.

All catered functions must have a secured payment before they occur. A college account number, check or major credit cards are all valid payment methods.

Our catering department provides high quality plastic products as our standard, unless otherwise requested. China service is available upon request for an additional fee of $1.00 per person.

As a standard we provide tablecloths and table skirting for all food and beverage tables. If you would like any additional table linen there will be a $5.00 fee for each table cloth. Additional table skirting is a cost of $7.50.

To ensure that your event is a success, catering staff will be provided for all served meals and buffets. Our internal catering staff is charged at $22.00 per hour and chefs are $25.00 per hour.

As the host of the catered event, you are responsible for the equipment we have provided for the service of your catered event. Any missing or damaged catering equipment or supplies will be charged to your account, at replacement costs.
