Frequently Asked Questions
1How far in advance do I need to reserve a location for my wedding reception?
The further in advance you plan, the more options you will have available to you. Typically, you will need to reserve a location at least 12 months in advance of your desired date. The most popular months are May, June, September, and October for most Midwestern climates. If you are not flexible regarding your month or date you may need to start planning 18 months in advance. Ceruti’s still has available dates this year at our various locations. Please call for more information.
2Are there any months or dates that I can receive a discount?
Yes and No. February is the slowest month for banquet facilities and caterers therefore demand is weak. Fridays and Sundays are becoming more popular but still have great availability. Some rental items and facilities are negotiable when demand is weak, however other hard costs such as food are less negotiable.
3Do I need to put down a deposit?
Yes. Deposit policies will vary from each caterer and location. A deposit benefits both parties involved. Ceruti’s Weddings requires a deposit for guaranteed room reservation and catering reservation.

Yes. We provide full service wedding decorating from centerpieces, fresh floral design, bouquets, ceremony decorating, and much more… Please schedule an appointment so that we may help you create the wedding of your dreams.

Obviously, the cost of a wedding reception will vary from the location, number of guests, menu selection, beverage selection, and decorating packages.
