Highline College does not currently have an exclusive food service provider. You are welcome to work with outside licensed caterer of your choice.

You will need to submit Alcohol Service – Request Form to us and upon approval, you will need to obtain proper banquet permit and insurance documentation.

Please note: Caterers will not have access to the kitchen or water, so all food must be ready to serve, and they should be fully self-sufficient.

All events must provide a Certificate of Insurance with $1 million in coverage, or $2 million if alcohol is being served.

Depending on the size and nature of your event, Highline College will determine if a security officer is required. If so, you may hire a Highline College Public Safety Officer or a local off-duty police officer. Private security is not allowed.
