Can we have open flames, a fog machine or cold spark machines?
Open-flame candles are not allowed, however you may use candles that are fully enclosed in glass and have a closed base to prevent wax damage to tables or linens. Fog machines and cold spark machines are not allowed.
Can we hang and attach decor?
To help preserve the integrity of our space, we ask that no permanent fixtures or attachments be used when decorating. This includes nails, screws, staples, tacks, or any materials that may cause damage to walls, ceilings, or surfaces. Any damage resulting from décor installation may incur repair fees.
Do we need to clean up after?
Guests are responsible for removing all personal items and décor brought into the space and returning any moved furniture or setup elements back to their original placement. This includes taking down decorations, gathering gifts, and ensuring all personal belongings are cleared at the end of the event. Our team will take care of standard venue cleaning, including floors, restrooms, and general sanitation, so you can focus on enjoying your celebration.
