Any canned soft drinks and bottled waters left over from the meal will be left for you. If you are planning a DJ and your guests will need drinks later in the evening, we suggest you order additional soft drinks / waters.

Delivery Policy:
The rising cost of fuels has impacted all of us. For this reason, we have been forced to implement a delivery fee for our events.
Cater It Simple will deliver at no extra charge for an event within 15 miles from our location. We base this on Mapquest’s calculations with a starting point from zip code 46236.
Any event located further out than 15 miles will have a $50 minimum delivery charge added. This fee is subject to change and is based on the total drive time and the drive time for additional staff members. We work to keep this fee as low as possible by requiring our staff members to carpool when they can.
Payment Policy:
Cater It Simple accepts cash, checks, money orders and credit cards (Visa, MC, AMEX, Disc). Money orders must be mailed via Priority Mail or any other method of mailing that includes a tracking number and delivery confirmation.
As per our Terms of Agreement, a 50% non-refundable down payment is required to secure your place on our calendar. Half of the remaining balance is due 21 days prior to the event. This is also non-refundable. The final balance is due the day of the event.
Drop off cakes must be paid in full prior to delivery. This is because when we drop off the cake at the country club or other reception venue, the bride is usually at the church (you know, doing that getting married thing!); she is not hanging around the reception hall with a check in hand, just waiting for us to arrive. Due to these kinds of logistic issues, we must require payment in full before we can leave the wedding cake.
