While we make every effort to accommodate last-minute requests, successful event planning requires a minimum of 7 business days’ notice ( 10 business days if beer and wine service is requested). Bookings made outside this window are subject to product and staff availability and will incur a $100.00 late fee.

To host a wedding reception, please make initial contact with the Dining, Conferences, and Campus Events Office at dccinfo@groups.bates.edu.

Please note that we require a minimum of four months’ notice to consider any wedding reception booking. Special scheduling and planning guidelines apply, which we will discuss with you at the time of booking. For complete guidelines and additional details, please refer to the  Weddings/Ceremonies policy
