Yes, with a few rules. Rosemary's Catering is the Jack Guenther Pavilion at the Briscoe's preferred caterer, and there's an approved list too; a caterer outside that list needs written authorization and a single-event agreement. If you skip the preferred caterer or Illusions Rental & Design, a service fee is charged to that vendor, who may pass it to you. You can bring your own alcohol, served by TABC-certified bartenders, with a TABC administrative processing fee. Any DJ is welcome but must bring all their own equipment.

Catering and bar are booked separately, so your guest count and menu move the total most.
