Holiday Inn Research Park
About
Here at the Holiday Inn Research Park, we have a 3,920 sq ft ballroom that conveniently breaks down into three 1,274 sq ft sections. We also have two 750 sq ft spaces. The banquet wing of the hotel has its own restrooms and parking.
We charge a 9% sales tax, as well as a 20% service charge. This charge is to pay our banquet staff for setup and service. There is a $500 deposit required at the signing of the contract to reserve the larger spaces, and a $200 deposit to reserve the smaller spaces, however, that deposit does go toward the overall account balance and the remaining balance will not need to be paid until 3 days prior to the event.
We cannot allow any outside food or beverages to be brought into our event spaces. We do require everything to be catered through the hotel. With that being said, whatever amount you purchase in food and beverage will decrease the rental rate of the room.
For example, a group looking to comfortably fit 30-50 people and accommodate any extras they may have (head table, cake table, gift table, buffet, AV table, etc.) would need 1/3 of our ballroom. The rental rate for that event space is $1,500. If they spend $1,200 on food and beverage, the rental rate for the room drops to $300. Conversely, if they spend $1,500(or more) on food and beverage, the room rental is waived and they're only responsible for the cost of food and beverage. This way, they're not paying $1,500 for the room and $1,200 for food/beverage, it becomes one inclusive price.
Linen is also included in the rental rate. Our current linen options are as follows:
Tablecloths: black, white, navy
Overlays: yellow/gold, burgundy, black, red, mint
Napkins: black, white, burgundy, gold
*All menu selections are due 10 days prior to the event.
*All linen and décor selections are due 10 days prior to the event.
*Preliminary final numbers are due 10 days prior to the event.
*Final numbers and final payment are due 3 days prior to the event.
