3. What type of menus does the Centurion Center offer?
All current menus are listed on our website. Although most of our guests select their options directly from our published menus, we would be pleased to discuss your specific requirements with you and to customize menus and menu packages. Should any of your guests require a special meal due to allergies or dietary requirements, we can almost always accommodate them provided that we are given advance notice. Note that all allergies must be provided to the Centurion Center in writing at least 72 business hours prior to the day of the event.

7. Do you prepare any extra plates? When does the Centurion Center need the client’s guaranteed attendance for the events?
The Chef will prepare for an additional 2% over the guarantee attendance provided to a maximum of ten persons. At the time of booking the Centurion Center will ask for your best estimate of the number of expected guests for your event. This ensures that the function room allocated is sufficient to meet the client’s requirements. The food and beverage may also be selected by the client at time of booking, however, it must be provided to the Centurion Center at least one month prior to the event. The Centurion Center requires the client’s best estimate of the number of attendees two weeks prior to event and the guaranteed attendance for food and beverage a minimum of 72 business hours prior to the event.

8. How is the punch served? Are punch bowls and glasses provided?
Should you order punch for your event, a punch station will be setup and will include the punch bowl, all glassware and paper napkins. The station will be draped and skirted in white linens.

9. Is the Centurion Center licensed to serve alcoholic beverages?
The Centurion Center is a fully licensed establishment. Our licencee number is 802486.

10. Dinner Wine
Most guests choose their dinner wine directly from the Centurion Center’s wine list. Should you wish to bring in your own wine to be served during dinner, the following regulations will apply.
1) You may only bring in wine for “personal” or “family” events – such as weddings or baptisms.
2) You may only bring in “home made” wine.
3) You must obtain a Special Occasion Permit from the L.C.B.O. and provide it to the Centurion Conference & Event Center prior to your event. Our licencee number is 802486. This permit will be posted in your function room during the time that you wine is being consumed.
4) Should you choose to bring in our own wine, the bar must be closed during the duration of the time the wine is being consumed due to the fact that the Client’s permit and the Centurion Conference & Event Center liquor license may not operate simultaneously.
5) A corkage fee will apply for each bottle of wine that is brought onto the premises.

11. What is the cost for a cash bar (before and after dinner)? How does the cash bar work?
A "cash" bar implies that your guests will pay for their own drinks. A "host" or "open" bar implies that you will pay for everyone's drinks. With either a "cash" or "host" bar, a minimum net (before taxes) bar sale revenue of $400.00 is required. This ensures that the labour cost of having a bartender is covered. Should your net bar sales be less than $400.00, a labour charge of $20.00 for each hour, plus applicable taxes, for a minimum of 4 hours per bartender will apply. This labour charge is applied directly to your invoice.

When requesting a host bar, you may choose between a premium or a deluxe beverage selection.
Premium Host Bar -Domestic Beer, House Wine, Liquor, Soft Drinks, Bottled Water (No imported beer, no cocktails, no liqueurs)
Deluxe Host Bar -Domestic and Imported Beer, House Wine, Liquor, Liqueurs, Brandy, Smirnoff Ice, Coolers, Cocktails, Soft Drinks, Bottled Water

You may select to be billed on a consumption basis where all consumed beverages are totaled and billed to your account at prices current at the time, or on a flat rate basis in which a flat rate will be set in advance based on the type of host bar selected and the number of hours applied. Note that flat rate host bar prices do not include wine served with dinner.

12. Are soft drinks available with dinner?
Soft drinks are included for children for dinner only. Should you wish to offer your guests soft drinks before or after dinner, an additional charge will apply. Guests may also purchase non-alcoholic beverages at the bar.

13. Is water provided on the tables at dinner?
Yes, ice water will be pre-poured at the tables, and the servers will replenish as required.

14. May we bring our own wedding cake and would there be a charge to serve it?
Yes, you may bring your own wedding cake. We will prominently display it in front of or beside the head table during your reception and dinner. You may serve your cake later in the evening if you wish. The top layer of the cake is not normally cut or served during the evening as the Bride and Groom usually wish to keep it.

If you decide that you would like our staff to provide the "full" cake cutting service, a labour charge of $3.00 per person plus applicable taxes will apply.

The other option is to have our staff make a couple of initial cuts into the cakes, to signify to the guests that it is to be eaten, and then let your guests serve themselves.

15. What time will the function room be available to decorate?
The function room will be available to you at the time agreed to when booking your event and will be stated on your contract. This time is usually mid-afternoon on the day of your event, however, a few days prior to your event, should the room still be available, we may be able to allow you access to the room earlier.

16. What are the regulations and policies regarding decorating?
1) You may use only masking tape to attach anything to our pillars or walls.
2) You may use straight pins to attach things to the cloth divider walls.
3) Fire regulations require that all candles/flames be enclosed or in some way protected. Tapered candles are usually not acceptable, however, floating candles are a good alternative.
Prior to purchasing or ordering any decorations, please contact the Centurion Center to discuss your preferences to ensure that they are acceptable. Should any damage to the facility occur the Client will be held responsible.

17. What is provided in the room by the Centurion Center?
The Centurion Center will provide the full physical setup for your event, including the following: head table (elevated), podium and microphone, round dinner tables (60”) with chairs, tables for your cake, gifts and guest book, tables for food and beverage, two tables with chairs for your DJ as well as white linen for all tables. Should you select one of our banquet packages we will also offer you floor length white linen tablecloths as well as coloured overlays and napkins.

18. Do you provide a sample showing of a dressed table?
We have weddings scheduled almost every weekend. You are welcome to come in on a Saturday to see our rooms formally set for a dinner function. Please feel free to call the office so that we may determine which dates would be best to view a setup similar to what you are considering for your event.
