The venue is open to the public until 4pm each day, so set-up can’t begin prior to 4pm.  You will need to factor in set-up time when determining the start time of your rental agreement.

Customers are responsible for providing all decorations, as well as removal of decorations by the end of the rental agreement.  All decorations should be table or free standing, as no items may be taped or affixed in any way to the walls, aircraft, or exhibits.

We ask that all customers leave the venue as they found it when their event started.  Tables, chairs, and linens may be left in place.  If the kitchen is used, it must be cleaned and left in the same condition as it was when the event started.  If you are using a caterer, they will typically handle cleaning of the kitchen.  Other clean-up may include vacuuming, taking out the trash, and removal of customer supplied decorations.

If your event is booked more than 30 days prior to your event, a 50% deposit is due at the time of booking, with the balance due 30 days prior to your event.  If your event is booked within 30 days of your event, then the full amount is due at time of booking.

Your event can be fully catered, food can be delivered by a local restaurant, or you can provide your own food or snacks.  We ask that you coordinate food plans with the Event Coordinator.

You may have alcohol at your event, but it must be served by a licensed bartender.   License information for both must be provided to the museum at least 7 days prior to your event.

We require that you have a ‘day of’ planner/coordinator for your event.  The ceremony and/or reception timeline(s) must be submitted to the museum at least 7 days prior to your event so that we can schedule the required facility staff.
