Am I able to bring in my own wine, beer or liquor? Per liquor license requirements, the Center must be the sole supplier of all alcoholic beverages. If you have a specific request, please contact your event coordinator regarding special orders.

May I come in early to decorate the space prior to my guests arriving? You will be able to use the space for the entire time as specified in your contract.

It is recommended that homemade items not be brought into the facility unless they meet all fire codes as required by law.

We also have a limited supply of carts and dollies for your use but we cannot guarantee their availability when you arrive.
