General Information and Policies

A Few Notes On the Status of Covid-19

Due to the possible changes in meat and produce production and availability, please note that all menu items are subject to change based on market conditions. If changes become necessary, we will work with each individual event to reach an appropriate substitution, based on what is available at that time. The Whitney will be complying with all laws related to Covid-19, and as the laws change, so will our individual policies. As conditions change, cancellation deadlines may be altered based on any extension or reinstatement of stay-at-home orders or state of emergency dates. If the Government enforces a shut down during your originally scheduled event, The Whitney will transfer your deposit to a future event, or provide you with a gift card to return to dine with usat a future time.

Space Rental Fees

The Whitney requires a space rental fee, along with a minimum food & beverage purchase requirement, for every event. We offer single room rentals, along with rental of the entire first floor (70-160 guests) , the second floor (up to 100 guests) , or the third floor (up to 100 guests) . Please see the event coordinator for further details.

Food Service

The Whitney does not allow for any outside food or beverage, other than a cake or cupcakes. Must be from a licensed bakery and proof of purchase must be shown. Hors d'oeuvres selections must be turned in by the deadline stated on your contract to ensure availability and quality ingredients. If selections are not turned in by the deadline, they may be chosen for you. We do not require a pre-order from your guests for dinner options, as we will provide custom menus at each place setting for them to select from.

Music

DJ's and live musicians may be brought in for a ceremony. A DJ may be utilized for a cocktail hour or a reception that has the entire first floor, Ghostbar or Mansion rented out. You may have a single string musician or pianist with a second floor rental. The Whitney reserves the right to determine the suitability of the performers and to adjust volume levels as necessary during the event. With the exception of a Mansion rental, the earliest start time for dance music is 8:00 p.m. iPods/digital music devices may also be brought in for use during a ceremony. The Whitney reserves the right to determine what is appropriate to be played in the restaurant. The Whitney's Grand Pianos on the first, second and/or third floors may be rented for a fee of $125. Please note that unless you're renting out the entire first floor, Garden or Ghostbar, you may not play your own music during your dinner service. The Whitney will have house music playing during this time.

Booking a Date / Cancellation Policy

A courtesy hold can be placed on your desired date for 48 hours. To reserve a date a contract must be signed, and a deposit must be put down.

If an event needs to be rescheduled, the deposit may be applied towards a future event, within 6 months of original booking, as long as you're not past the cancellation deadline. There may only be one single date change for the event. The reservation must be cancelled by the cancellation deadline to avoid incurring any charges. Reservation cancellations made after the cancellation deadline will result in a charge of 50% of the estimated grand total of the reservation cost.

General Information and Policies

A Few Notes On the Status of Covid-19

Due to the possible changes in meat and produce production and availability, please note that all menu items are subject to change based on market conditions. If changes become necessary, we will work with each individual event to reach an appropriate substitution, based on what is available at that time. The Whitney will be complying with all laws related to Covid-19, and as the laws change, so will our individual policies. As conditions change, cancellation deadlines may be altered based on any extension or reinstatement of stay-at-home orders or state of emergency dates. If the Government enforces a shut down during your originally scheduled event, The Whitney will transfer your deposit to a future event, or provide you with a gift card to return to dine with us at a future time

Space Rental Fees

The Whitney requires a space rental fee, along with a minimum food & beverage purchase requirement, for every event. We offer single room rentals, along with rental of the entire first floor (70-160 guests) , the second floor (up to 90 guests) , or the third floor (up to 100 guests) .

Hors d'oeuvres selections must be turned in by the deadline stated on your contract to ensure availability and quality ingredients. If selections are not turned in by the deadline, they may be chosen for you. We do not require a pre-order from your guests for dinner options, as we will provide custom menus at each place setting for them to select from

With the exception of a Mansion rental, the earliest start time for dance music is 8:00 p.m. iPods/digital music devices may also be brought in for use during a ceremony. The Whitney reserves the right to determine what is appropriate to be played in the restaurant. The Whitney's Grand Pianos on the first, second and/or third floors may be rented for a fee of $125.
