This brochure is intended for preliminary information only and is subject to change without notice. Immaculate Heart of Mary Church will not be held accountable for any price quotes other than those in an approved and signed contract.

Security Deposit $200.00 - This fee is due at the time we draw up your contract and will ensure that we hold the date for you. It is fully refundable up to six months before the event for May, June, September and October dates and two months before your event for the remainder of the year. If you cancel after six or two (depending on your event date) before your event, you waive any right to this refund. Otherwise, unless you break any of the terms specified in the contract, it will be mailed to you within two weeks after your event.

5 hours of hall rental $625.00 - This is the amount of time from when your guests arrive until they leave. IHM staff will set up a general outline of the hall, including tables, chairs, head-table, cake-table, etc. You are responsible for your own decorations, except during the month of December, when the hall is decorated for Christmas.

Kitchen Rental $325.00 - This includes the use of all stoves, food warmers, dishes, silverware, dishwasher, etc. It is only necessary if your caterer wishes to do actual cooking in the kitchen. If your caterer comes with food prepared, they are welcome to use the refrigerators, food warmer, counter space, and dishwasher for a $50.00 fee. The use of a fryer is an additional $100.00 fee.

Table Cloth / Napkin Rental - This fee is $6.00 per table, $7.00 per skirting and .25 per napkin. This applies only if your caterer does not supply his/her own linens. Most caterers will not need this service.

Dish Rental $125.00 - IHM has a supply of glasses, plates, bowls, silverware, etc. This fee is included in the kitchen rental and applies only if your caterer does not supply his/her own dishes. Most caterers will not need this service. Please be aware that when you rent the dishes, you are responsible for their cleaning. IHM has an industrial dishwasher that is available for use.

Bartenders 15.00/hour/bartender -  If you wish to serve liquor, you must use our bartenders (paid by you) or your caterer may have their own bartenders. The only option for the bar is an open bar. You supply all the alcohol, set-ups and drinks and our bartenders will serve. There is no longer an option for a cash bar or BYOB.

Insurance Options

All events held in the hall require insurance

*The Archdiocese of Washington will provide insurance for these events through Catholic Mutual of Omaha. The cost is $125.00 for the event and forms are available at the parish office.

*You must provide us with an insurance policy that covers your specific event - or - a Hold Harmless Indemnification Agreement. The party listed as insured must read as follows: "Archbishop Donald Wuerl and The Archdiocese of Washington as a corporation sole, a.k.a. Immaculate Heart of Mary Church." In both cases, your policy must arrive in our hands with time enough allowed for our insurance company to review and approve.

PAYMENT IN FULL IS DUE TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE DATE OF YOUR EVENT. CANCELLATIONS AFTER A CERTAIN TIME (SEE CONTRACT FOR EXACT DATES) WILL PREVENT YOU FROM RECEIVING YOUR SECURITY DEPOSIT REFUND.
