Our offices are typically open 9am - 5pm Monday - Friday, with our Events Coordinator in office from 10am - 4pm. Appointments are required to visit.

7. Can I have my event during a weekday?

Yes! You are welcome to have your event on a weekday. However, we can not guarantee total privacy as our offices, and the offices of the other Non-Profits on our campus, will be open.

8. Is the Kitchen included in my package?

If you choose a Private Event or Wedding Package, yes it is included; for other rentals you may need to rent it additionally. 

9. Can we have a food truck or outside cooking for our event?

We do not allow food trucks or outside cooking at our venue. This includes outside grills (taco vendors), pizza ovens as well as other gas or propane vendors. All food must be prepared and served inside the venue. We are in a residential neighborhood and we cannot disturb our neighbors.

10. Can I hold a date?

Yes! You can put down a $100 hold, and we will hold your chosen date for 7 days. If you choose to move forward with your event during or at the completion of those 7 days, that $100 will count towards the total cost of your event. You may only hold a date once, and you may only have one hold per event. 

11. Can we extend our rental past 11pm? 

Unfortunately not. We are not allowed to make exceptions to this rule for many reasons, some of which being; Our Neighbors, Our Staff Hours, The Cleaning Crew, and the time it takes to turn the space over for the following event.

12. Can we Grill or BBQ outside? 

No. Because we are a historic building, we do not allow open flame of any sort here at our venue. Sadly BBQ's and Outside Grills fall under that category. This includes taco carts.
