Iron Abbey — Event Contract
ROOMS
Room Minimums: All Room Minimums are based on an adult headcount. For all headcounts, we require the number of adults, the number of children, and the ages of all children. Children 2 & under do not count towards the headcount for room minimums, but the coordinator must be made aware for proper seating arrangements.
Private: Rooms are exclusive for a period of 2 hours. The minimum charge for your event will be based on 5 guests fewer than the contracted amount, with the Rex Room as an exception to this policy. The minimum charge may differ if explicitly confirmed otherwise in writing by the event coordinator (for example, weekend events or other special circumstances).
Loft Pews / Hightops (Semi-Private): This space is available as a semi-private location. We will have our beer cellar open and other patrons are allowed to enter and go into the beer cellar. The Loft consists of two areas — the Pews and the Hightops. Renting one area (Pews or Hightops) does not include the other, and the unreserved area remains available for regular dining unless both are purchased together.
Loft Private: The Loft can be reserved in its entirety as a private room for your event. When booked as private, both the Pews and Hightops areas are included, and no other guests will be seated in the Loft during your event. Please note that while the Loft will be exclusive to your group, the Beer Cellar will remain open to other patrons. Loft Private bookings are exclusive for a period of 2 hours, unless otherwise confirmed in writing by the event coordinator.
A minimum spend of $800 (before tax and gratuity) applies on Mondays and Tuesdays. On Fridays and Saturdays at 4:00 pm or later, a minimum spend of $1,800 (before tax and gratuity) applies. All other weekday events are subject to the standard minimum charge policy.
FOOD & BEVERAGE — All-Inclusive Packages
All Food and/or Beverage Packages are served for 2 hours. This time limit applies even if the event itself has been approved for a longer duration.
Liquor packages do not include shots or drinks on the rocks.
When opting for a cash bar, the event host is responsible for any outstanding/unpaid checks left by your guests.
Outside Dessert: Since we offer in-house dessert, please note that all outside desserts are subject to a $2 per person service charge.
Iron Abbey Brunch/Lunch Events: Chocolate Fountains are available for events that take place prior to 3:00 pm. There is a $100 service charge and $7 per person for this service. This must be added to the contract at least 2 weeks prior to the event date.
OUTSIDE ITEMS & DÉCOR
Vendors: The customer must inform Iron Abbey of any outside vendors and/or amenities such as DJ, Photo booths, Stereos, etc. Iron Abbey reserves the right to deny unless noted.
Décor: The event Host must notify the event coordinator when bringing in decorations. Absolutely no confetti or glitter is permitted. All decorations must be approved by Iron Abbey Staff.
AUDIO & VISUAL EQUIPMENT
When renting a projector, Iron Abbey will provide an HDMI cable; the event host is required to bring a laptop with an HDMI port. The event host will be held responsible for the cost of any damages to A/V equipment while in use.
EVENTS & RESERVATIONS (16+)
Iron Abbey Gastropub and The Loft Whiskey Bar require a $200 deposit (which includes a $6 non-refundable administration fee) to reserve a private dining space for 16 or more guests. This payment can be made by credit card when booking. The deposit may be applied to the final bill at the conclusion of your event, or refunded to the card used for payment.
All charges will be presented on one bill. Split checks are not permitted, with the only exception being individual drink tabs when opting for a cash bar.
CANCELLATIONS
The event host may cancel up to 7 days prior to the event to receive their deposit back (minus the $6 non-refundable administration fee).
Customers may increase, cancel, or decrease guest count within two (2) days or 48 hours prior to the date scheduled. This adjustment will update the minimum charge.
Any cancellation or decrease in number after this window will result in forfeiture of the deposit, and the event host will still be responsible for meeting the minimum charge.
