Rules and Guidelines for a successful event:
✓Your set-up and clean-up must be WITHIN your booking time period. Additional charges will apply if you arrive before or stay beyond your scheduled time period. (We have different scheduled events in the garden and want to ensure everyone enjoys their allotted time).
✓Speakers are available throughout the space for your use and enjoyment. Guests may not bring in their own speakers or sound systems; DJs and live music are not permitted. You may bring your playlist from your streaming service (Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music, etc.) and connect to our WiFi. We also have numerous playlists which we can play during your event if you prefer.
✓Furniture may not be brought into the venue.
✓We strive to be a Zero Waste business. We request that guests use recyclable paper plates, cups and flatware. We discourage use of single-use plastic plates, cups, flatware and table cloths. To support our guests, we offer a complete White China Place Setting at a reasonable cost of $3.50 per place setting. (Added bonus, your guest experience is COMPLETELY elevated ✨🍽️🍹when you use actual china, glassware and cloth napkins as opposed to 'disposable' plastic products).

- Clear beverage glass ideal for water, wine, beer or soda
- Silver flatware set including bread knife, fork & teaspoon
- Cloth napkin in your choice of white or black
✓You are welcome to bring in your own food and drinks to the venue. If you bring in outside vendors such as a caterer, food truck or portable grill a Vendor Fee of $175.00 per vendor will be charged to the guest. This covers the cost for vendor power usage, facilities usage and additional clean-up. We will provide two extension cords, if needed, to connect to power, (1) 100 ft. long extension cord and (1) 25 ft long extension cord and two tables with black table cloths.
