Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is your policy on children?
A: Non-ambulatory children are allowed.
Q: How long can I use the venue?
A: The venue rental fee covers a 12 hour event time within the 14-hour availability period from 8:00 am-10:00 pm, followed by a 1-hour clean-up period from 10:00-11:00 pm. All decorations are handled by the client and all decorations, gifts and personal items must be removed by 11:00 pm to avoid overtime charges of $300/hour for any portion of the hour between 11:00-12:00 pm.
Q: Is there early access to the venue on the day of the event?
A: An arrival earlier than 8:00 am on the day of your event is $300/hour. This is something you may want to consider if you want to have extra time for set up or decor.

A: Yes, sound levels must always be kept below 95 decibels (measured from 3 feet away from the sound source). County and state ordinances require that all events end no later than 10:00 pm.

However, CDL is not your personal event day coordinator. We are simply here to help with venue management and to make sure our facilities are working properly.
