Questions planners ask
How do I reserve a date?
A 25% booking payment reserves your date. It’s non-refundable and goes toward your rental fee. A separate $500 refundable security deposit is also due at booking.
When is the rest of the rental fee due?
The remaining balance is due 30 days before your event.
What if I need to cancel?
The 25% booking payment is non-refundable. If you cancel more than 30 days before your event, we refund anything you’ve paid beyond the booking payment. Within 30 days of the event, payments are non-refundable.
How many guests can you hold?
Up to 250 guests for a seated banquet. The building’s maximum occupancy is 325. Your layout, staging, dance floor and entertainment can lower that number.
Can we bring our own caterer?
Yes. Your caterer or food provider can use the kitchen. They’re responsible for their own licensing and food safety, and they take their supplies and trash with them before your rental ends.
Can we bring our own alcohol?
No. Outside alcohol and BYOB aren’t allowed. Alcohol is served by The Dahlia’s bartenders, or by an outside vendor we approve in writing ahead of time. Bar service runs up to five hours and ends by 11 PM.
Do you have AV for presentations?
Yes. The Hall has two 86-inch LED monitors, a house sound system with iPad control and Bluetooth, a wireless microphone, and plug-and-play hookups for bands and DJs.
What’s the simplest bar option for a company event?
Drink tickets: 25 for $200, 50 for $400 or 100 for $750. Each ticket is one beer, one glass of wine or champagne, or one basic mixed drink. You can also host a consumption bar with a spending cap.
What tables and chairs do you have?
20 six-foot round tables, one four-foot round, 10 eight-foot rectangular tables, one six-foot rectangular table, 20 cocktail tables, 250 standard chairs and 25 bar-height chairs. You or your planner set them up unless we agree otherwise in writing.
What is an evening rental?
If a Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday is still open within 90 days of the date, you can rent the venue from 4 PM to 1 AM at a lower rate. Setup, deliveries and cleanup all happen inside those hours, and your event ends by 12:30 AM.
Is a planning walk-through included?
Yes. One planning walk-through of up to 60 minutes is included, by appointment. Your first tour before booking doesn’t count toward it.
