Banquets & Events

Customized Catering

We can help ease the burden that comes with planning special events, so you can better enjoy the occasion. This collage of various services was designed to be the first step in assisting you in planning and budgeting all types of events. We welcome the opportunity to assist you in all aspects of your event. We are here to work personally with each client to ensure they receive exactly what they want based on their individual needs, even if that means customizing menus. We understand that all events are special and therefore unique unto themselves. In many cases it is imperative that you discuss your preferences and needs with our experienced staff. Our staff is able to accommodate almost any request. Please contact our catering manager for further details.

 

General Catering Information

All prices are subject to change based on market costs, some items are seasonal and therefore may be unavailable during certain periods of the year. Each item is priced per person unless otherwise stated. All orders require a ten-person minimum. Delivery charges will be assessed according to your location, except for locations within a one-mile radius of 3113 N. Dries Ln. Peoria, IL. To eliminate delivery charges, it may be possible to arrange for a pickup. All catered events will be subject to an 18% gratuity for setup and tear down of all equipment and tableware (if applicable). Childers Banquet and Events Center reserves the right to require a deposit on any catering order. Cancellation requires a 24-hour minimum notice, and all deposits are fully refundable up to 24 hours before the scheduled event. Orders cancelled less than 24 hours prior to the event will result in a 100% charge to the client, including events cancelled due to inclement weather. In the event that your group will be arriving later than scheduled, please notify our catering manager as soon as possible. Our professional service personnel, which includes event supervisors, chefs, servers, bartenders, and kitchen staff, require a 3-hour minimum. Please contact us for pricing on our service personnel (off-site services only). All deliveries will be made within a 30 minute window prior to the serving time of the event. Due to food safety and liabilities associated with proper food handling, some foods may not be removed from the site of the event. Childers Banquet and Events Center is fully licensed and insured.

 

Tableware & Serving Equipment

All prices include disposable plates, napkins, eating utensils, trays, and condiments, as well as use of basic chafing dishes and soup/food warmers, unless otherwise noted. Higher quality chafing dishes are available at an additional cost. In addition, we offer various types of real china, glassware, linen napkins, floral decorations, table linens, and silverware at various price ranges for off-site catering.

Methods of Payment
We accept cash, check, Visa, Master-Card, American Express, and Discover.

Billing and credit terms are available and must be made in advance. All billing information must be processed by our accounting department prior to the event. An invoice will be provided and full payment is due within 30 days unless otherwise noted. In most cases, credit terms are not available and therefore the total payment must be received at the time of delivery. Prices are subject to change without notice due to unexpected market fluctuations. All food and beverage prices are subject to Peoria County sales tax (currently 10.25%). If tax-exempt status applies, a tax-exempt letter or ID number must be provided 7 days prior to the event.
