What is the street address of the Bistro and A-Frame? Due
to our rural location, the physical street address is not posted at either
facility. We recommend providing guests with a map. Our website provides a
downloadable map in PDF format (Adobe Acrobat), which offers a map as well as
written directions. This file is a great resource to insert into any
invitation.
Is the main
dining room of the Bistro ever used during normal business hours for private
events? The main dining room floor of the Bistro is available for private
events on Sunday and Monday evenings only—when the Bistro is closed to the
public the entire facility can be reserved for a private event. In fairness to
our Bistro patrons, we feel that keeping regular business hours is extremely
important.
Do you provide business or A/V equipment?
Les Bourgeois offers a projection screen, LCD projector and extension cords
that may be used for a $75.00 rental fee.
Any damages caused to this equipment will be the sole responsibility of
the client.
Are there any hotels or bed & breakfasts nearby? There
are no hotels in Rocheport; the closest ones will be in Columbia or Boonville. There are several Bed
& Breakfasts in Rocheport that welcome wedding parties and their families.
In addition, historic Rocheport offers numerous antique shops as well as
vendors whom specialize in photography, calligraphy and a publishing house.
Bikes can also be rented for an excursion on the Katy Trail.
Do you provide
valet parking for private events? Valet parking is a complimentary service
for guests of honor, but due to limited staff, we cannot offer valet service
for all guests. Those guests needing special assistance can be dropped off at
the service entrance near the front door.
Are there dressing
rooms for wedding parties? The Bistro's restrooms may serve as dressing
areas. If you or your attendants do use the restroom for a dressing area during
regular business hours, we ask that you please remove all personal items before
your event and be respectful of our restaurant patrons. As an alternative the
School House Bed & Breakfast offers a bridal changing room perfect for
wedding parties. Ask your Catering Director for more information!
Can you
recommend a baker, florist, DJ, etc.? Certainly! Our recommendations are
based purely on past experiences at Les Bourgeois. It is the client's
responsibility to contract these outside vendors. All vendor deliveries need to
be arranged in advance with your Catering Director.
What colors of linens are offered? Les
Bourgeois offers white linens and table skirts. If another color of linen is
desired speak with your Catering Director about availability, pricing, and
selections.
My friend has special dietary requirements; can you help
with this request? Of course! First we need to know the
specifics in order to meet their needs. Our Chef offers vegetarian dishes as
well as sugar substitute desserts.
Are the tables round? No, all the
furniture used for private events at the Bistro is the existing furniture. Tables
are square in shape with a stainless steel tops. These tables can be arranged
in long rectangular shapes to seat six to fourteen people per table. For events
of 80 guests or more, 8 foot folding tables will also be used for seating.
How many table centerpieces will I need? The
number of tables will depend on the amount of guests to be seated at each table,
the type of food being served and the table arrangement/size. We can recommend
an estimated number of centerpieces during planning stages; however, the number
of centerpieces needed won't be apparent until all final event information is
guaranteed, at least two weeks prior to your event.
Do you provide seating for outdoor events? Yes,
we provide seating on the Bistro lawn for up to 300 guests. The chairs are
traditional white folding chairs. You may provide your own seating if you
desire, but it will be the client's responsibility to secure, deliver, set-up
and return any rented items.
What do we do in case of inclement weather during an
outdoor event? Can tents be rented? Wouldn't it be nice to order the
perfect weather? Unfortunately, weather is beyond our control—and that's an
important consideration when booking an outdoor event. When reserving a private
room (at the Bistro) you do have the option of moving your outdoor event (i.e.
wedding ceremony) indoors. Because the room will already be set for your
reception, seating will be limited and guests will likely stand during the
ceremony. Our staff will help in any way possible to make the appropriate
accommodations.
How do I know how much food and what type of food to order
for my private event? Your Catering Director will be happy
to help you with a menu plan that meets your needs. Another idea would be to
include menu RSVP cards with your invitations. This is an easy way to eliminate
the guesswork of who wants which entree and may save money when giving your
final guarantee numbers and menu selections.
Are there menu tastings available? Yes, however, there are some items that
cannot be prepared for a tasting. These
items include: Dessert Bites, Fresh and Gourmet
cheeses, Lobster tail, Carved meat selections, and Chicken and Exotic Mushroom
Ragout Bouche.
