WE MAKE GROUP EVENTS EASY, FUN & FLAVORFUL!
1. HOW FAR IN ADVANCE DO WE NEED TO RESERVE A PICNIC DATE AND PAVILION FOR OUR OUTING?If an exact date is important, it is advisable to reserve your outing date early in the year. If your outing date can be somewhat flexible, pavilions may still be available later in the season. Pavilions must be reserved through Idlewild’s Group Sales Office.
2. HOW MANY PEOPLE SHOULD WE PLAN FOR?Generally, if the company/organization is paying for the entire admission and/or meal, you can figure your attendance will be approximately 2-4 times the number invited.
3. ESTIMATED COSTMultiply the estimated cost of admission (based on group rate/usage chart) plus meal cost (include 18% service charge and 6% PST) if applicable, times the number of guests expected. Idlewild’s Group Sales Department will be happy to provide you with a quote.
4. SHOULD THE COMPANY/ORGANIZATION PAY FOR THE ENTIRE COST OF ADMISSION AND/OR MEAL?This would depend upon your budget. Many companies/organizations will pay for the entire cost of admission and meal, while others require their invited guests to pay for a portion of the cost per person.
5. WHO SHOULD BE ELIGIBLE TO GO?It is certainly your choice, but most companies/ organizations will invite all employees/retirees/members and their immediate family members.
6. SHOULD INVITED GUESTS BE ALLOWED TO BRING GUESTS AND/OR GRANDCHILDREN?Some companies/organizations allow invited guests to bring additional guests beyond immediate family members with guests paying for the cost of the additional admissions and/or meals.
7. HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD WE ANNOUNCE OUR EVENT?Announce your event date as soon as possible. Allow invited guests to begin making reservations four or five weeks ahead with absolute deadline 14 days prior to the outing.
8. PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS?Your Idlewild representative can provide you with posters, invitations and brochures well in advance of your outing to help you promote your upcoming event.
9. HOW SHOULD GUEST RESERVATIONS BE HANDLED?A reservation form can be distributed to all eligible guests. This form should include the following information:• Event Date• Name of eligible guest• Number of attending guests: 0-2 years of age, 3-74 years of age, 75 years of age and older.
• Cut-off date for reservations• Name of person to contact if there are questions
• Name of contact person/department to return the reservation
10. TICKET DISTRIBUTION?Your Idlewild Representative will provide you with tickets well in advance of your outing. We suggest placing your ticket order one month prior to your event, allowing ample time for ticket distribution.
11. MEAL GUARANTEE?If your group is having a catered meal, all catering arrangements must be placed with your Idlewild Representative at least THREE WEEKS prior to your group’s visit. Please confirm the GUARANTEED NUMBER of guests we are to serve at least FIVE DAYS in advance of your outing. All charges will be based upon the guarantee, or the actual number of persons served, if greater than the guarantee. See “Group Planning Guide” for complete catering policies and guidelines. Please note, outside caterers are not permitted. All catering arrangements must be provided through our on-site catering, Stratwood Caterers and The Swhinery BBQ Company.
12. TICKET RETURNS & PAYMENT?Unused tickets should be returned to your Idlewild Representative no later than two weeks after your picnic date. You will be charged for all tickets except those returned. Net billing will be based on total tickets issued minus tickets returned. Price category will be based on the total number of tickets to be paid for, not the total number of tickets issued. Final payment is due no later than 30 days from the scheduled picnic date.
