GUARANTEES
Your final guarantee (the number of guests attending) and all entrée counts must be given to a Salty's Banquet coordinator three business days prior to your event. You will be billed for the guarantee or the number of meals served, whichever is greater. All food and beverage are to be provided by Salty's on Redondo Beach.

DEPOSITS & MINIMUMS
Deposits are required to reserve a room and will be applied towards your final bill. Minimums for the party will be discussed with you by your banquet coordinator. When these dollar minimums are met through food and hosted beverage purchases (exclusive of tax and gratuity) all minimum charges will be waived. If the dollar minimum is not met, the balance will then become a service charge (subject to 20% service charge and sales tax).

DESSERTS
Our in-house bakery has a full line of cakes for every occasion. Talk to your banquet coordinator for cake options and costs. If you would like to provide your own cake, a $2.00 per person (plus tax and gratuity) cake cutting fee will apply. This fee does not apply to wedding cakes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

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 Redondo Beach. We sell the rooms evenings beginning at 6:00 p.m. until 11:00 p.m. We setup rooms between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. Please contact a Salty's Banquet Coordinator for the specific minimums.

WHAT IS INCLUDED WITH THE ROOMS?
We take care of all the set-up, breakdown, linens, china, silverware, bartenders, service staff, and parking.

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 to drop off items and between the 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. evening time-slot while we are re-setting the room.

WHAT ABOUT PARKING?
We have a very large parking lot for your use free of charge. There is also street parking available.

HOW DOES THE BAR WORK?
It's entirely up to you as the host. Salty's bartenders and bar service are included with our rooms and we simply charge based on consumption. You may offer a full hosted bar to 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.

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 THROUGHTOUT 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.

CAN YOU HAVE A WEDDING 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 at Redondo Beach would take place in your existing reception set-up area.
