Common use of Caterer Clause in Contracts

Caterer. The DCA does not provide catering services, but will provide a list of its preferred caterers. Requests to use caterers outside of this list would need to be evaluated by the DCA. If a staffing company or bartending service is used, it must be contracted by the caterer. The client is responsible for securing the caterer and for their activities during the event. No later than 90 days before the event, the client and caterer will be required to sign and submit a form (Appendix B) acknowledging responsibility for set-up, clean-up, trash/recycling and break-down. Caterers are required to meet with the DCA Facilities Manager to review the facilities, prior to the event. The DCA reserves the right to prohibit certain caterers from utilizing the facilities based upon any past failure to comply with DCA, Town of Darien or state rules and regulations. For weddings or other large events, we recommend that you plan with your caterer for no less than two hours of set-up time and a minimum of one hour for break-down and clean-up.
