How do I reserve a specific date?

I want to serve alcohol at my event. Do I need a licensed bartender?
If you are serving alcohol for free, you do not need a licensed bartender. If you are selling alcohol, you need an ABC license and a licensed bartender.
Can I set up the day before my event?
No, we only allow same day set-up. Anything brought into the building must be removed same day.
I already booked a date. Can I add additional set-up hours?
Yes, you can add additional set-up hours to your event. If it is more than 30 days before your event, the fees will be added to your total amount due. If it is within the 30 days leading up to your event, extra hours depend on staff availability.
How do set-up and event hours work?
Set-up hours are for setting up decorations, bringing in food, etc. - anything that needs to be done prior to your guests arriving. Event hours are when guests arrive, and your event officially starts. There are no breaks allowed between your set-up and event hours. Your set-up hours must connect to your event hours. Please refer to the example below:
- Set-up hours: 12:00pm to 4:00pm
- Event hours: 4:00pm to 11:00pm
- Cleanup: 11:00pm-12:00am (free hour – must be out before the end of the cleanup hour)
I have some revisions for my insurance. Will it be an additional charge from the insurance company?
Any revisions that need to be done should not be at any additional cost to you if you use EventInsure and originally asked for the three forms we need: Certificate of Liability Insurance, Additional Insured, and Waiver of Subrogation.
Can you send my refund check to another address that is not on the application?
