Important Information

Contract

Class of 2000, thank you for trusting us to plan our 25 year class reunion.

The 30% deposit for the event is $2,637.14, divided by $120 per ticket, gives us 22 classmates needed to purchase their ticket by the end of the month so we can cover the deposit. Once we receive the deposit, then the contract would be signed. The deposit is NON-REFUNDABLE so that means, once we pay the deposit, the reunion is on unless it is cancelled by The Reef.

  • To meet the room minimum, we will need an additional 58 tickets sold to bring our total to 80 guests. The contract will be signed for 80 guests but could be increased up to a max of 120 guests if needed.

  • Ticket prices are the cheapest in March and will increase starting April. This is so we can meet the payment deadlines, have additional funds to cover a photo backdrop and DJ, and have a for sure commitment especially for classmates living out of state needing to make travel arrangements.


The price per person is $120. This includes a plated dinner with desert (menu on the home page), a champagne toast, use of a private dining room with panoramic garden views (picture on the home page), 10.25% sales tax and a 24% restaurant administrative fee that does not include gratuity. (Guests are asked to bring cash to add to the tip bucket for the servers). There will be a cash bar and dance floor. Please see the price break down below on how we came up with the per person fee for an estimated 80 guests.

$71 (dinner fee) x 80 (guests) = $5,680
$5,680 (dinner total) + $500 (dance floor fee) + $250 (bartender fee) = $6,430
$6,430 (event total) x 0.24 (admin fee) = $1,543.20
$7,973.20 (event total + admin fee) x 0.1025 (sales tax) = $817.25
$7,973.20 (event total + admin fee) + $817.25 (sales tax) = $8,790.45

$8,790.45 (total cost) / 80 (guests) = $109.88. We rounded up to cover a DJ and Photo Backdrop.
$120 Per Ticket (Feb-Mar) ~ $130 per ticket (Apr-May) ~ $140 per ticket (June)


RSVP and Payment

  • Everyone must RSVP using the online form. Once your official RSVP (not survey entry) has been received, your name will be added to the RSVP list (the guest list is visible to everyone to ensure transparency). Once you’ve purchased your ticket then your name will be added to the Final Guest List.

  • Please submit payment to one of the following options below. Last 4 numbers of cell is 4960. A receipt will be sent to the email address listed on your RSVP.

  • If you prefer to pay cash, please give the cash to a friend and have them submit your RSVP and payment through the payment options available. This will ensure that we keep a detailed record of all payments submitted.

    THERE WILL BE NO TICKETS SOLD AT THE DOOR.
    NO EXCEPTIONS!


Refunds

  • The 30% deposit to The Reef is non-refundable and non-transferable. So once we pay the deposit, we have to move forward with a minimum of 80 guests.

  • Before the 2020 event was cancelled due to COVID, we were at 82 guests (paid, rsvp and waitlist) and the room only held 80, so we would have had to turn some away. This time, the room holds up to 120 guests but the minimum needed to cover the room minimum is 80 guests.

  • Once the Final Guest Count reach over 80 guests then we would be able to provide refunds upon request. As long as the requested refund doesn’t drop the final guest count below the required minimum of 80 guests.
