After 10 days, the date will be released if Bretton Woods has not received the appropriate deposit.
*If the event is to occur within 60 days of initial request, the deposit is due within 48 hours. A non-refundable deposit in the amount of $2,000 is due at the time of booking and is applied towards the balance.

A 50% payment of the estimated proposal is due 6 months prior to your scheduled event.

A 75% payment of the remaining balance is due 3 months (90 days) prior to your scheduled event. Your final menu selections are due at this time.

A 90% payment of the remaining balance is due one week out.

For ordering & staffing purposes, the final or guaranteed number of guests is required 14 business days prior to the event (Bretton Woods is closed on Mondays). Your charge will be based on this minimum guarantee or actual number of guests, whichever is greater. Should your final count drop below the minimum guarantee, we will be happy to advise you on additional choices in food and beverage which will bring you up to the agreed minimum for your event.
