Divine Elegance & Style

Events and activities for up to 65 people, such as Bridal Showers, Baby Showers, Birthdays  (for the young and the not so young), Rehearsal Dinners, Professional Luncheons, Club Meeting and many more, can be accommodated at The Empress. Below is a general idea of The Empress’ policy when planning your event.

• No charge for rooms during regular business hours. Price is based on menu items, confirmed number of attendees, and a two-hour seating time during your Event (if extra time is needed $75.00 per half hour is added to your bill).
• If a private event is desired, a minimum number of attendees must be guaranteed to hold the full room. (our Victoria Room seats 35 and 25 guest is our minimum for a private party the Garden seats 22 and a minimum of 15 needs to be confirmed, the entire restaurant can be reserved for a minimum of 50 guest.)
• A deposit of $100.00 (non refundable, yet applied toward your total bill) is required at time of booking. The deposit is fully refundable up to 14 days prior to event. Store Credit will be offered for a deposit if cancellation occurs within 14 days of the event.
• Final minimum guest count must be provided 72 hours prior to the event. Group is committed to the count. Extra food for no-shows will be boxed and given to the group to take home.
• An 18% gratuity is added to your final bill, and another 5% may be added to gratuity for each half hour beyond the two hours.
• Favors, cakes and additional decoration can be provided for an extra charge.
