Do You Charge For Your Rooms And When Are They Available?
We simply have room minimums or “dollar values” that vary
depending on the date and time. We try to put groups in the appropriate
room so that the room minimum is waived when food and hosted beverages
are purchased through Salty’s on Alki. We sell the rooms during
the day any time up until 4:00 p.m. and evenings beginning at 6:00 p.m.
until 12:30 a.m. We break down to reset rooms between 4:00 p.m. and
6:00 p.m. Please contact a Salty’s Catering Representative for
the specific room minimums.
What Is Included With The Rooms?
We take care of all the set-up, breakdown, linens, china, silverware,
bartenders, service staff, parking and dance floor (when renting all
three rooms) and all clean-up.
What About Set-up Times?
While we believe you do not need to do much as far as set-up or decorating,
you may certainly arrive any time before your function during the day
time-slot and between the 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. evening time-slot while
we are re-setting the room.
Do You Have A Dance Floor? Is There A Charge?
We provide a 12-foot by 24-foot wood parquet dance floor that is free
of charge when you rent all three of our private rooms together as one
room.
What About Parking?
We have a very large parking lot for your use free of charge. There
is also street parking available. When business in the main dining room
and banquet facilities require it, we provide complimentary valet parking
for guests in addition to street parking.
How Does The Bar Work?
It’s entirely up to you as the host. Salty’s bartenders
and bar service are included with all of our rooms and we simply charge
based on consumption. You may offer a full hosted bar for your guests,
or perhaps just beer and wine, or maybe everyone is simply pay on their
own (no-host bar). Choose whatever works best for you, but take into
account that room minimums are met through food and hosted beverage
purchases. In other words, beverages the host pays for and puts on the
food bill are applied to the room minimum.
Do You Have Cake-Cutting Fees?
We do not have any cake cutting fees for wedding receptions. You may
bring in your own cake free of charge. We provide all plates, silverware
and cake cutters. Our staff will serve your guests after the first traditional
cut.
Are Bands & DJ’s Allowed?
Yes, but you are required to rent all three private rooms. Otherwise,
you may rent individual rooms and we can pipe in “styles”
of digital music, or you may bring in your own boom box for music.
What About Handicapped Access?
There is complete access located at sea-level to allow guests to easily
enter and exit the banquet facilities.
Will There Be Someone In Charge Throughout Our Event?
We always have a designated manager on duty throughout your entire function.
Although everything will be finalized and detailed prior to your event,
we are here to serve you and all of your guests.
When Is Final Payment Due?
Payment is due at the conclusion of your event unless prior arrangements
have been made with a Salty’s Catering Representative.
When Are Deposits Due?
Deposits are due two weeks from the time your event is booked. We will
send you a Confirmation Letter stating all preliminary details of your
event along with a Catering Agreement.
Can You Have Your Ceremony On Site?
We do not recommend ceremonies on site. We do a few every year but please
remember Salty’s is a restaurant. The changing room would be the
ladies room. Rehearsals can be somewhat difficult with groups occupying
rooms prior to your event. Remember, it’s your big day and ceremonies
performed on site at Salty’s On Alki would take place in your
existing reception set-up area.
