Special Services Available in the Student Union Memorial Center

Redington Catering

The Arizona Student Unions is the designated campus department responsible for the provision of food and beverage services for the University. Please review the University of Arizona catering policy for more information.

Redington Catering features an extensive menu to meet all of your catering needs from punch and cookies to banquet style gourmet meals. A complete catering service is available for events both in the Student Union Memorial Center and at Campus events at other locations. Arizona Student Unions policy prohibits bringing food or beverages from outside sources into the building. Our Event Planning staff is available to assist you in determining your catering needs and can be reached at (520) 621-1989. Catering orders may also be faxed to the Event Planning Office at 621-2545 or ordered on-line through our web ordering system.

To ensure the success of your event, you are advised to have all catering orders in place and finalized at least 10 working days prior to your event. If your order is placed with insufficient notice, we may be unable to accommodate your needs based upon the nature and scope of your event. If a group orders a full service catered meal or substantial hors d’oeuvres menu, the room charge for the room where the meal is taking place will be waived.

We are happy to provide assistance in planning a customized menu or large banquet functions. Contact our Special Events Coordinator at 621-1415. Please discuss your menu options with the Event Planning staff for exact pricing and facility charges.
