Food

We have a catering prep room, but it is not a kitchen. Whether you are doing a buffet-style or plated dinner, the caterer needs to cook it off site and keep it hot.

Heating elements are allowed. If you prefer not to use warmers, food must be brought in hot from a catering vehicle.

​

Two refrigerators are provided on site, as well as a half barrel size kegerator.

The Tandale facility does have a large ice machine for your bartenders and caterers (available for an additional $150).

Liability Insurance

When you secure your space at Tandale, it is required of you to also purchase Event Liability Insurance with Host Liquor Liability

Coverage (a minimum of $1,000,000) for the day of your event.

Tandale LLC and the property owners need to be added as additionally insured.

​

Please note that alcohol can only be served by certified bartenders.

Prep / Staging Areas

There is a Bridal Suite available

inside the house (included in your rental), as well as areas inside the barn that may be used for staging and storage during your event.
