FAQ

Yes, clients may bring in their own DJ. The DJ must provide all their own sound equipment, as the venue does not have the proper inputs to connect a DJ to the house sound.

Yes, the patio always has an overhead covering with multiple fire pits. We usually take down the enclosure walls after Mother's Day, but might keep them up a bit longer, depending on how the weather is treating us.

If the event falls short, the difference, as well as the final tax and gratuity, must be paid. The deposit goes towards the minimum, so any overage is not deducted.

Yes, tables and chairs can be moved to allow for more standing room.

The slideshow must be provided as an .mp4 file, rather than an .mp3, so that it plays on the venue’s projector.
