All the FAQ'S

Booking your Event

Starting the process of Booking Argyles is easy.  First I would like to meet with you to go over your options and do a tasting for you.  If that is not possible we can Speak on the phone or over email.  We like for you to be completely comfortable with us and know that we are going to do an exceptional job for you.


What Costs can I expect


There are no hidden or extra fees when you book with Argyles.  Your responsibilities are for food and beverage costs, 7.75% Dare County tax
20-30% Service fee depending on the functions needs.
The Service fee pays our staff and certain costs that are associated with an off premise catering.  There is no additional fee for staff. If you feel that they have given you exceptional service a tip would be wonderful.




Deposit and Final payment


A $500.00 Non Refundable deposit is due on contract signing.  Final headcount numbers are due 3 weeks before the event and we will adjust the contract at that time.  Payment is due at that time on the adjusted amount.
