Frequently Asked Questions

Planning an event brings up a lot of questions. Here are the ones we hear most.
Does submitting a request reserve my date?

Not yet. A request lets us check availability. Your date is confirmed once your rental agreement is signed and we've received 50% of the rental price plus the security deposit.

Can we bring outside food?

Yes, you can bring prepared food. Approved reheating is allowed, subject to local code requirements. Frying, indoor grilling, and other cooking that produces grease vapors are not permitted.

What can we do in the Large Event Room kitchen?

The kitchen has a refrigerator, oven, stovetop, and counter space for keeping food cold, reheating, and serving. It isn't set up for frying or indoor grilling.

Can we decorate the room?

We'd love for you to make the room your own. Tell us what you have in mind on your date request or during a tour, and we'll let you know what works.

How much time do we get for setup and cleanup?

Tell us how much time you'd like before and after your event when you request your date, and we'll help you choose the right rental length.

Who handles cleaning?

Your rental agreement explains what's expected at the end of your event. Ask us during a tour if you'd like to go over it.

Can we have music?

Tell us about your plans for music, such as a playlist, a DJ, or a band, on your date request and we'll let you know what works for your room.

When do I get my security deposit back?

Your security deposit is refundable. Your rental agreement sets out when it's returned and what can be deducted from it.

What if I need to cancel?

Your refund depends on how far ahead you cancel. The rental policies page lists each window, and your rental agreement has the full terms.

Can we tour the venue first?

Absolutely. Tours are by appointment. Send us a tour request from the contact page and we'll find a time that works.
