Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have packages?

We don’t have set packages, rather an à la carte style pricing. Our menus can be completely customized to your preferences.

Can I get a site tour?

Yes! We are happy to show you the resort, venue spaces and lodging options. Based on schedules and other events in progress, we do require that site visits are scheduled ahead of time. Fill out the inquiry form and our team will be in touch!

Do you have a minimum cost?

No. We do require for the rental of the Events Hall or Carolina room that you are having a catered meal for the entire group. We do not rent these spaces for meeting space only.

Do you allow outside food and beverage?

No. Due to specific liability we do not allow outside food and beverage, with the exception of the wedding cake.

Can I bring my own alcohol?

Fontana Food and Beverage is responsible for administering the regulations set by the North Carolina State Liquor Commissions for sale and service of alcoholic beverages. It is, therefore, the policy that alcohol cannot be brought into events or banquet rooms from outside sources and consumption areas will be designated by Fontana Village Resort. We reserve the right to refuse service of alcoholic beverages to anyone for any reason.

How far in advance do I need to book?

The earlier you book the more likely you will get your desired date and space. Our summer and fall dates will book up quickly.

What is your cancellation policy?

The cancellation fee will be based on a sliding scale depending on when the Hotel receives written notification. Cancellation fees will be based on estimated total Food & Beverage, Venue Rental and Lodge Room revenue committed to in your contract. The Organizer’s deposit will be applied toward any cancellation fee due.
