WHAT IF MY PARTY TIME DOESN'T FIT INTO YOUR TIME SLOTS?
In order to provide guests with as many opportunities to rent our space as possible, we have carefully considered your needs and the demands of the space and set our times accordingly. We have found most events run 1 to 2 hours, and typically require a minimum of 30 minutes to set up and about 30 minutes to clean up. If you do not feel you will have enough time in your time slot, you are welcome to also book an additional time slot, if available.
Good news, if you do book an additional time slot, you'll get the 30 minute time used for cleaning...free. Score!
CAN I COME IN EARLY TO GET A LITTLE MORE TIME TO SET UP?
In short, no. If you feel that more time would be needed for your setup prior to your scheduled time, please get in touch with our staff to coordinate that desire. Additional set up time may concur additional fees.
DO I HAVE TO CLEAN UP THE SPACE OR DO YOU?
While our incredible staff does an amazing job keeping the space clean between events, we do ask for your assistance in keeping our space running smoothly for all our guests. We ask that before you leave you wipe counter tops and flat surfaces, perform a quick sweep of the floor and take all trash out to the trash bin located on the side of the building. Please make sure the room looks like you found it.
