1. About To The Table Supper Series
To The Table Supper Series is an informal, community-centered supper series created to celebrate local food, farms, makers, chefs, artisans, and meaningful connection around the table.
To The Table Supper Series is not currently organized as a corporation, limited liability company, nonprofit, or other formally registered legal entity. Events are organized by the individuals behind To The Table Supper Series, sometimes in collaboration with independent venues, farms, chefs, caterers, beverage providers, musicians, vendors, rental companies, sponsors, volunteers, and other third-party participants.
For purposes of these Terms, “To The Table,” “To The Table Supper Series,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer collectively to the event organizers, hosts, planners, volunteers, representatives, successors, assigns, and any individuals acting on behalf of To The Table Supper Series.

6. Event Insurance
To The Table Supper Series may obtain event liability insurance for individual events and may include the venue, property owner, or other required parties as additional insureds when required or appropriate.
However, the existence of event insurance does not guarantee coverage for every claim, injury, loss, incident, person, party, or circumstance. Coverage is subject to the terms, limits, exclusions, conditions, and determinations of the applicable insurance policy and carrier.

-
It is your responsibility to determine whether the event is safe and appropriate for your dietary, allergy, medical, or personal needs.
Guests with severe allergies, food sensitivities, medical dietary restrictions, or other concerns should contact us before purchasing a ticket. However, contacting us does not guarantee that accommodations can or will be made.
