THINGS TO KNOW AND CONSIDER.

Rental Fees and Charges

If your event is held during regular business hours and you are a recognized student organization or department on campus, there is no charge for custodial and student building managers. Otherwise, the client will be billed for this labor. Please inquire about building hours, as they change in relation to our academic calendar.

Catering Policies

A complete booklet of menus, prices and policies is available at the Catering office or online at Catering. Our campus food provider, Chartwells, provides all food and beverages. Any questions regarding food service please call Jim Allen, Catering Director at 262-472-5093 or by email: catering@uww.edu

Catering and reservation bills will be mailed to one party. Prices are guaranteed upon signed contract.

Table Arrangements

We offer a number of ways to set-up each room. See below for the most common requested set ups. All rooms can be set according to user preference, however if the request requires a diagram, the requestor must stop into Reservations (UC 253) to approve what has been drawn up.

common room layouts

Large rooms, such as the Hamilton Center and the Old Main Ballroom, may require a meeting with the Facilites Coordinator to determine set up and needs for such a large space.

Amenities

A variety of services and equipment are available at reasonable costs to clients including a dance floor, high chairs, directional signage, microphones, disc players, etc. Coat racks are available when weather dictates.

Entertainment

We ask that clients make the entertainment arrangements and then notify the Reservations Coordinator of times, technical needs and set ups. The set up for entertainment should be arranged before the beginning of the dance or banquet to avoid disruption during the event.
