Indoor Facilities 

Things to consider before booking an indoor facility

Looking to book an indoor facility for your event? Prepare by considering the following:

  1. What date and time do you prefer? What are your second and third choices?
  2. Do you have a location (facility) preference?
  3. Save time. View current indoor facility availability online before submitting your rental request.
  4. View the Virtual Tour to see the venue or book a viewing appointment online for select facilities.
  5. How many guests will be in attendance? Note that using a stage and/or having a dance floor reduces facility capacity.
  6. Are you playing music and/or dancing?
  7. Are you planning to serve alcohol? Does the facility you are interested in allow for the serving of alcohol?
  8. Read and understand the Facility Rental Terms and Conditions, specifically the payment, cancellation and transfer terms.
  9. Is this event for youth 13-17 years of age? If yes, specific rental rules apply for Teen Rentals. Contact us for more information.
