How does meal service/catering work?

You can bring your own food, hire one of our preferred vendors, or hire your own caterer. We provide a full size fridge/freezer for food storage and a utility sink for clean-up. Food must be prepared offsite and brought to the venue. If you are hiring a caterer for your event, we can set-up a time for them to tour the space.

 

What is the policy on alcohol?

Wine, champagne, and beer only are permitted; no hard liquor allowed. All alcohol must be served by one of the two preferred bartending services listed below (additional fee required) and must be provided by the Client(s) for the bartender.  Alcohol may not be served to minors. Absolutely no BYOB or cash bars allowed. Illegal substances are not allowed at any time on the premise. Drunken/Violent disturbances are prohibited and subject to immediate removal from the premise and possible termination of event with a $250 fine for any breach of contract.

Our space is tastefully decorated to be a backdrop for whatever you have planned! Leave it as is, or feel free to bring in your own decorations to make your event even more festive.

We ask that any wall decorations be only attached with temporary adhesive (such as Command hooks); no tape or nails, please!
