Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reserve your space?
The easiest way is to call or text Elizabeth at 574-304-6548, or you can submit an inquiry through our contact us page.
If you would like to see the space before your commit, we can set up a time to show you the space.
Can I bring/consume alcoholic beverages at The Dunn Building?
Yes, if you are hosting a private event, you may bring, consume, and serve any kind of legal drink for your guests who are 21 years of age and older. We have one full-sized fridge available to help chill and keep cold anything you bring.
We can also recommend a local Bartender if you need one!
If I bring alcohol, do I need a liquor license to have a party here?
As long as you are not selling alcohol to your guests, and your event is not open to the general public, you do not need a liquor license.
If your intention is to sell alcohol as part of your event, please let us know. We can discuss the details you need to know.
How many tables and chairs are available?
We have 6 - 6ft round tables, and 2 - 6ft rectangle tables. There is enough seating for 48 people, but that may leave you feeling a little tight for space.
We suggest using the rectangle tables for serving food if you are doing buffet style.
Do you have table cloths (linens) available onsite?
At this time we do not, but let us know if you are looking for them.
Do you provide the food and drinks?
No, we do not, but we have local connections and we are happy to make recommendations for local caterers. Whether you're looking for drinks, snacks, sweet treats or a full meal, Wood River has some delicious options that you may not find in a quick google search.
How do I pay for the deposit and/or the event?
We can send an invoice that includes all options to pay, they include cash, check and Venmo.
What are your operating hours?
We can host events any day of the week from 7:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. Weekend Events can extend to 11:00 p.m. if winding down and cleaning up. Permission for extended hours may be granted by special request.
We have hours because we have residential apartments on the second floor of the venue.
Do I need to place a deposit? If so, is it refundable?
We ask for a deposit to hold your date and for incidentals.
The things listed below could results in less than the full amount being refunded:
-
Leaving the venue unlocked after your event
-
Damage to the space by a guest
-
Using glitter or confetti in the space; this includes gender reveal powder. This takes a lot of work to clean up.
What is your refund policy?
Full amount will be refunded, when notice is provided at least 30-days before your event.
Can I get in early to set up or drop off my things for our event?
Yes, we can be flexible. But we ask that you include your set up and tear down time in the amount of time that you book.
What if I go over my time?
We know this can happen. If you need to go past the time you reserved, we can add an hourly rate to your event fee as long as there is no conflict with another event. You can extend at the rate of $100/hour.
We won't be keeping tabs on a couple minutes, we are concerned with events that extend over more than an hour.
Is there a cleaning fee?
Yes, we have a standard cleaning fee of $75 for all events and parties.
