Re: Baker's Insurance! My hall won't let us bring in a cake from outside!

I think this whole thing is so silly... When we went to book our hall it happened that the banquet manager found out that my FH is in the Seafood business. He TOLD us that if we wanted we could bring all the seafood in and they will charge flat fee to prepare to food for our cocktail hour. We don' t think that we are going to do it, it is just going to be too much extra running around for FH and his boss to get everything and bring it to them and honeslty it will probally end up costing us the same thing.

But I just thought it was very werid that they would want to take the chance with seafood where honestly there is a larger chance of someone getting sick. I didnt think they would want to have such a liability. Who knows they may ask us to sign a wavier.... this is the same hall that is making me sign a wavier since my florist is doing my flowers as a side job and dosnt have the 1mil insurance policy.
Their afraid of the flowers but not of the Seafood??
Go figure

I dont know if you'll be able to display it, with the cutting fee and all, but your best bet may be to give it out as your favor. It's actually tradition that the 'groom's' cake be given for people to take home. It's unfortunate that your hall can't bend on this, it just seems so stupid to me.

how much would it cost to do as a favor? (box, maybe a string to warp it in?)

I've never heard of Baker's insurance, but it makes sense.
I have heard of cutting/serving fees.
I'm not sure what they are for. I guess so they don't loose business by not providing the cake, but in your case they are doing that anyway. I don't know if they charge that in a case where you don't have the option of getting the food from the hall.

I've also herd of corkage fees, if you bring in your own wine, they charge you to open it!
