Flexible Catering Options & Bar Services

Gateway offers flexible catering options for our clients. Catering at Gateway is not exclusive, therefore clients can choose what suits their needs the best from several options. Clients can use Gateway's in-house catering, they can select a Preferred Caterer, or they can opt to bring in food from an Outside Caterer.

INTERNAL CATERING:
Gateway Convention Center has an internal Catering Department that can assist with your catering needs. This convenient option helps to streamline our clients' planning process by providing a one-stop shop. Whether it’s a week-long conference serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, or a plated banquet meal that may include setup, serving, and cleanup, our catering team can do it all! Our experienced catering team can help you plan each meal to fit your needs and budget. Our Director of Catering will work with our clients to tailor a menu to fit the needs of your event.

PREFERRED CATERING PROGRAM:
Gateway Convention Center has partnered with several fantastic caterers at a variety of price points and delicious menu options. Preferred Caterers are partners of Gateway Convention Center, but they are separate entities. Gateway Convention Center cannot guarantee any terms, pricing, protocols, or policies of/for/on behalf of the Preferred Caterers. Gateway’s clients can choose the caterer of their choice. Clients work directly with the caterers to receive pricing and options. Clients sign a contract for catering services with the Preferred Caterers.

OUTSIDE CATERERS:
Gateway Convention Center also allows clients to utilize a caterer that is not a Preferred Caterer. Clients can bring in any food from an outside source, such as a restaurant, caterer, or store. The food must be made in a commercial kitchen. Homemade food is not allowed. Clients can bring in outside sealed soft beverages only. If clients decide to bring in catering from an outside source, the clients must complete an Outside Catering Agreement as well as pay an Outside Caterer/Clean-Up Fee.

BAR SERVICES:
We have also put together affordable and customizable beverage packages exclusively for Gateway Convention Center clients. Outside alcohol is not permitted at Gateway Convention Center.
