Frequently Asked Questions

What deposits are required to secure an event at the Depot Restaurant?
A standard $1,000.00 reservation security deposit is required and due with the signed contract to guarantee the event date. This non-refundable, non-transferable deposit is required to guarantee the event date and can be paid prior to the Venue/Food & Beverage Deposit.
When is the guest count and final payment due?
Three weeks prior to the scheduled event, an invoice outlining the final real food and beverage costs will be issued to the Contracted Client, and the estimated totals will be adjusted to reflect the final amount due. The final guest count is due at 21 days prior to the event.
Are music and dancing permitted?
Yes. All DJs or live musicians contracted for the event must be approved by The Depot when the food and beverage deposit is paid, or 60 days prior to the event (if the deposit is paid earlier). All amplified music must be kept at the required decibel level as managed by the City and County of Sonoma
