Private Events

Payment And Cancellation

Food and beverage minimums are required for all private and semi- private events. Minimums may vary. A non-refundable deposit will be made at the time of contract to reserve your event (amount varies between $300-$1000). A second deposit of the remaining balance per the food and beverage minimum is due one month prior to the event. Payment for all known charges are due 72 hours prior to the event. Any additional charges will be due at the conclusion of the event. All deposits will be applied to the total cost of the event. The deposit given at the time of contract is nonrefundable. Any additional payments made will be refundable if this contract is terminated more than 30 days before the event. If this agreement is terminated less than 30 days prior to the event, all deposits will be forfeited and 100% of the food and beverage minimum will be payable by the client. At any point after the contract is signed, the deposit required with the signed contract will not be refundable by Jackson’s.

Guest Count Guarantee

A final guest count is due 7 days prior to your event. This number is considered a guarantee and is not subject to reduction. Jackson’s will prepare a 3% over the guarantee for buffet style menus.

Food And Beverage

A 20-guest minimum is required for buffet service. Jackson’s must provide all food and beverage. Menu selections must be completed 4 weeks prior to your event. You will receive confirmation of your menu selections on your event order. Current banquet menu selections and pricing are indicated on all banquet menu materials and are subject to change. You will receive confirmation of your menu selections on your banquet event order. Jackson’s reserves the right to make appropriate and reasonable substitutions in the menu to reflect market availability. No alcoholic beverages may be brought on to Jackson’s property from an outside source. Jackson’s assumes no responsibility for products provided from an outside source such as cakes, or food favors.

Plated Lunch / Dinner Options

Choose three entrées for your guests to select from prior to the event. Client will need to provide a count of each entrée that is needed, along with a list of each individual guest’s name and entrée selections, 7 days prior to your event. Jackson’s will prepare place cards in order for the service staff to determine which meal each guest has ordered. There is a $1.00 per person fee for this option.

Taxes And Service Charges

All food and beverage is subject to a fixed seven and a half percent (7.5%) Florida state sales tax and a modifiable twenty-one percent (21%) gratuity charge.
