Do I have to pay the host/hostess fees? What do they do?
If your event is after business hours, the host/hostess fee will be applied. The host/hostess is someone who will monitor and maintain the building during your event. If during your event you need an extra table, extra linens, or have any questions, they are trained to help you. If you desire servers or event organizers, please make those arrangements with the caterer.

What is the deposit for?
Every event is charged a refundable deposit. The deposit is collected for unforeseen needs such as damages, extra linens or additional clean up. This allows us to provide services without collecting additional fees during your event. This deposit covers most circumstances but please note that damages or services which exceed the deposit will be billed to the customer.

Do I need to rent the room for the time I want to set up and clean up?
Yes, your room rental includes any set up and/or clean up time needed. Therefore, if you desire to get in early to decorate or have food delivered, please reserve the room for that time. Once you have decided on the hours of your rental, the start time is the time you may enter the room and the end time indicates the time by which you need to be completely cleared out.

Do I have to clean up?
No, we do offer clean up services for a fee. This allows you and your guests to relax after the big event.
