When returning your signed contract, you will need an initial payment of 50% of your venue rental total. The final payment of the venue rental total is due, in its entirety, 30 days prior to your contracted date. Make checks payable to 2McConnells.

Your venue rental includes an Event Director to coordinate items as they relate to the venue (vendor load-in, floral/decor delivery, etc.), provide you with a floor plan, place and manage the Prime Time Party Rental order, and upon request grant access to the venue for planning purposes. The Event Staff is responsible for the setup and teardown of tables, chairs, and linens. The Event Staff is not responsible for setting up any additional decor like place cards, memory tables, centerpieces, etc.
