Balance Payment and Final Numbers

The account balance including all charges incurred during the function is payable the day after the function.

We require that final numbers be confirmed fourteen (14) days prior to the function. This will be the minimum number of guests you will be charged for on the final account.

Accommodation

We require all of our accommodation for the evening of the reception to be booked by the wedding party. Weddings held on Saturday evenings require all nine apartments to be booked for both Friday and Saturday nights. The customer is liable for the cost of any accommodation left unfilled. All accommodation is inclusive of a continental breakfast.

The price per head will be sent to you on inquiry.

Car Parking

Minimal parking is available at the restaurant. We suggest the use of mini buses available for hire in Apollo Bay, contact details can be provided upon request.

Deliveries / Rehearsals / Entertainment

Guests undertake to avoid interruptions to normal trade. Please organise deliveries during non-trading hours of 3pm-5pm and 9pm-11pm.

Sound checks must be done prior to commencement of the function and it is advisable that entertainment groups be fully set up ½ hour before the function is due to start

A large area is available for bands and DJ's, but is compromised as the function size increases. While we can recommend entertainment, it is contracted and paid for by the customer.

Chris's has its own stereo system and if CDs or MP3's are supplied, we are happy to play them for you.
