Event Confirmation & Guest Guarantee
When you call to inquire about a specific date, it is tentatively booked in your name for up to 30 days. A tentative reservation costs nothing but must be confirmed within this 30-day period of time. If a second call for the date you are interested in is received before the 30-day period of time has elapsed, you will be given first right of refusal on the reservation. A guaranteed final number of guests is required 5 (five) business days prior to your confirmed event. A tentative reservation is confirmed with a deposit of 500.00, which may be paid by cash, check or credit card.
Guest Minimums
The enclosed menus are priced for a minimum attendance at your event of 30 guests. A party of less than the minimum is allowable; however, a service charge may be incurred.Beverage Options
Trumps Catering retains a liquor license, therefore events held at The Georgian or Milledge Avenue locations must have alcohol provided by Trumps Catering. Alcohol is sold on a “consumption” basis, whatever your guests consume is what you pay for OR on a “cash” basis, with guests paying for their own beverages. We are happy to give you an average estimate. If your party is not being held at The Georgian or at our Milledge Avenue facility & your rental location allows, you may provide the alcohol yourself.

Our bartenders are all certified in the “Responsible Beverage Service Training Program.” See our ‘Beverage Options’ for detailed information of our beverage services.Menu Selections
