QUESTIONS & POLICIES

CATERING FOOD MINIMUMSThe food minimum is the minimum amount which must be spent on banquet food selections for your function. It is not a budget, as it does not mean that your menu selections will not exceed that amount; it is a dollar spend commitment to guarantee your function space in lieu of a higher rental fee. If the minimum is not met (before applicable tax and service fee) the difference will be billed as rental.

DEPOSITS & FINAL PAYMENTSYour ceremony and/or facility rental fee is required as a non-refundable deposit to secure the space, along with a signed copy of the contract provided to you by the sales office. Space will not be confirmed as yours until both have been received. Six months prior to your event date, 50% of the contracted food minimum is due to the Catering Office. This payment is non-refundable. The estimated final balance is due at the time of the guaranteed count (three business days prior to function). A current and valid credit card number will be requested to hold on file for any charges that may exceed previous payment.

SERVICE CHARGE & SALES TAXCurrently, Custer State Park Resort has a 20% taxable service charge that is added to all food and beverage purchases. Service charge is subject to change without notice. The applicable South Dakota sales tax of 7.5% is added to all food and beverage items on your banquet invoice.

FOOD & BEVERAGETo ensure the safety of all of our guests and in order to comply with local health regulations, no food and/or beverages are permitted to be brought into the Resort or leave the premises by the hosts or their guests, with the exception of ceremonial cakes, mints and nuts. We appreciate your menu selections at least one month prior to the date of your function. Menu prices are subject to change based on availability of product. Buffets are based on a 90-minute meal period. The final confirmation “guarantee” of your anticipated number of guests is required by 12PM three business days prior to the event and is not subject to reduction. If no guarantee is received, the resort will charge for the expected number of guests indicated on the banquet event order. Final charges will be based on the actual attendance or the final guarantee, whichever is greater. Buffets require a minimum of 25 guests.

ALCOHOL SERVICEA cash or hosted bar can be made available to your guests. Guests must be 21 years of age with a valid photo ID to purchase or drink alcohol. A minimum of $300 in cash bar sales is required per bartender during the event. Our bar service provides house wines, well and call liquors, domestic beers, a variety of bottled import beers and soda. All prices on alcoholic beverages are based on consumption. Alcoholic beverages are subject to South Dakota sales tax. The resort is the only licensed authority

to sell and serve liquor for consumption on the premises; therefore, liquor is not permitted to be brought into the resort venue space. Kegs are not permitted within Custer State Park Resort. Prices subject to change.

PLANNING SCHEDULEMenu selections and planning can commence once the contract and deposit have been received. A detailed timeline will be provided by our catering manager to help guide you. Please provide the catering manager with a complete list of all vendor names, contact information, addresses and cell phone numbers.

REHEARSALSSpace for your ceremony rehearsal is included in your package. Rehearsal time must be discussed with your catering manager to confirm site availability. Should your same site not be available at your requested rehearsal time, an alternate location will be designated for you.

OUTDOOR EVENTSThe resort reserves the right to make a final decision if lightning storms or severe weather conditions are expected in the vicinity that may endanger the safety of guests or employees. The decision to move the event to the indoor backup space will be made no less than three hours prior to the scheduled start time of the function. *All Rental Fees Are Non-Refundable.

DÉCOR & ENTERTAINMENTWe do ask that you bring in your own decorations and centerpieces for your wedding, as the Lodge does not provide them for you. We do not allow tape, nails, staples, pins, etc. Also, due to fire constraints, we do not allow taper candles, and all candles must have glass that is higher than the flame. Custer State Park Resort reserves the right to inspect and control all functions being held on the premises. If entertainment (loudness of bands, PA systems, etc.) disturbs any other guests or becomes a problem, our property reserves the right to ask the patron, or the band leader, to lessen the loudness or perform without amplification, if necessary. Due to the close proximity of sleeping rooms to the Veranda at Sylvan Lake Lodge, amplified music is not permitted. Decorations are the responsibility of the guest and/or event coordinator to store, place and remove at the conclusion of the event. No glitter. No amplified music at Creekside Lodge

SECURITYIn order to maintain adequate safety for you and your guests, our catering manager will schedule security for your group based on the following guidelines: any function with over 75 attendees will require security; more than 200 attendees will require an additional officer. Current rates apply.

SD STATE PARK ENTRANCE PASSESEvery vehicle that stops in Custer State Park will needa South Dakota State Park Entrance License. They can be purchased at the entrance booths or at any of the four lodges. If you have a group of guests that are not staying overnight in the park, their day-only special event pass is included with your rental fee!

All units come with a refrigerator, microwave, and coffee pot; select units have full kitchens, decks, balconies, fireplaces, great rooms, and more. We encourage wedding parties to consider our Specialty Cabins. These luxury large group cabins can be found at each resort, and offer increased space of up to 4,000 square feet and sleep between 12-28 guests! Snatch these up for an extended stay, and they make for a fantastic spot to host your small rehearsal dinner and/or gift opening. Please keep in mind that Custer State Park is a popular destination and our sleeping units book quickly. We encourage that you book your specialty cabin(s) and any other important units as soon as you have set your wedding date.

Inquire with the Catering Office about ordering ahead for large quantities.

REHEARSAL DINNERCuster State Park Resort also offers exceptional venue locations for rehearsal dinners. A rehearsal dinner at any one of the four lodges is a great way to capture the true essence of Custer State Park and the surrounding Black Hills. Give your guests a unique experience by venturing to a different lodge from the wedding location. Each lodge’s diverse atmosphere allows for either an elegant or an informal affair, you decide. Blue Bell radiates a country Western flair in fine South Dakota fashion; while Sylvan and Legion Lake are serene and beautiful, and the Game Lodge offers historical splendor that will astound your guests.

The park’s recreational adventures are perfect for bonding with your family. You can visit the Blue Bell Stables and experience the backcountry the same way the Custer Expedition did, on horseback.
