Banquets with The Village Casino

The Village Casino offers fine dining that is delicious and affordable with a personal touch. Each menu was designed by the Head Chef, Burke Lindquist. He has ever 20 years of experience in the food industry. His experience includes small family restaurants to big corporate restaurants, casual dining to fine dining, and intimate dinner parties to banquets for 10,000 people.

If you are in need of ethnic, vegetarian, or other dietary needs, Chef Burke will be happy to customize the menu to your needs with a chef consultation. There is an additional cost for a chef consultation.

Your food service can include appetizers, plated dinners, open buffets, dessert bars, coffee and tea service, after party pizza, gourmet hot cocoa bar, and so much more.

Appetizer Service

An appetizer service follows a wedding ceremony or is served at the beginning of your reception as guests arrive. Along with beverage or bar service, the appetizer service allows for your guests to be comfortable while waiting for the wedding party to arrive.

Our appetizer service options are butler style or display style or a combination of the two. Butler style refers to having staff serve appetizers on trays to your guests. This option is nice for single serve bites. There is an additional cost for butler style service. Display style refers to platters set up on tables without staff. This option works well for fruit, vegetable, and cheese platters.

The Village Casino provides full drink services, including a cash bar, hosted beer and wine bar, or a combination. A cash bar service means guests are responsible for buying their own drinks at their own expense. This service includes bartenders and wine, beer, and liquor set-up. For the hosted beer and wine service, the party is responsible for purchasing a bar package. There are three packages that offer your guests a selection of drinks that suit most palettes. This service includes bartenders and wine, beer, and liquor set-up. The cost is based upon consumption. You may decide to purchase a bar package but also allow your guests to buy, at their cost, dinks that are not on the selected list. Bar packages can be tailored to the party’s palette.

Congratulatory toasts include sparkling wine, champagne, or non-alcoholic sparkling cider or juice. This service includes a pouring and serving staff.

Dinner Service

Dinner service is the main course of the reception. Dinner service options include plated, buffet, or stations. Buffet dinners can have enhancements such as a pasta bar or carving station. Each dish is prepared by Chef Burke and served to be pleasing to the eye as well as the palette.

Plated dinners allow your guest to relax at their seats while they are served. To facilitate plated dinner service, place cards with the guest’s dinner choice are required. This option also requires an extra staffing fee. Buffet and station dinner options are more casual, allowing the guests to serve themselves. A pasta bar or carving station can be added to the buffet or station service to give your guests more choices.  For the pasta bar, there is an additional fee for the suited chef preparing the individual pasta dishes. During the dinner service, food is delivered hot and fresh and carefully attended by our Event Captain.

After Dinner Enhancements

After dinner enhancements can really customize your event. We can offer coffee bars, hot chocolate bars, after party pizza, or anything else you can imagine!

Dessert

In addition to your wedding cake, we offer four delicious varieties of dessert bars to give your guests plenty of options for after dinner treats.
