A nonrefundable deposit is due when the contract is signed.
If the reservation is cancelled, the sponsor will be responsible for a cancellation fee as outlined in their contract.

Because all alcohol menus are specifically created for each event, costs will vary depending on selections and services. Boston College provides all alcohol services. The center does not allow alcohol to be brought in for any circumstance and reserves the right to limit and control the amount of alcohol served.
Specific information regarding pricing will be provided by the event coordinator.
Payments for events are by check made payable to Boston College or with a credit card.
