If you'd like alcohol to be sold at your event, you may hire a licensed vendor (such as a local bar) to operate a cash bar and serve drinks. This is permitted under policy guidelines.

Yes. We have a Cleaning Checklist and available cleaning supplies to make sure your cleanup goes as smoothly as possible. Keep in mind that cleaning needs to take place during the hours you have rented the space.
Please bring your own cleaning rags for post-event cleanup, as we are not able to provide laundering for used cleaning materials. We appreciate your help in keeping the space clean and ready for the next guests!
14 / What if I am only having a small meeting with no food, do I still have to clean up after the meeting?
We have carefully crafted a compact checklist of items to clean, after your small meeting, for situations like these. This checklist can be referenced if you do not plan on bringing in food/drink or do not plan to use the kitchen during your reservation. Thank you for helping to keep the space clean and tidy for the next users!
15 / What happens if I’m not out on time?
If you do not honor the agreed upon rental hours, you are subject to late fees and additional time being charged.
