How far in advance should I book my event?
Bookings typically occur 3-6 months in advance. However, we recommend booking 6-12 months in advance for events taking place during the late spring and summer months (May-August) as well as the month of December.
How do I book my event?
Bookings can be done in person or over the phone. To book events greater than 30 days in advance we require a 50% down payment +$500 security deposit and a signed contract. To book events less than 30 days in advance we require the full amount to be paid + $500 security deposit and a signed contract. The security deposit is fully refundable if there is no damage or loss to the premises, or if you have not gone over on time. Balance must be paid in full 30 days before the event. If you fail to pay the balance due on time a $50/daylate fee will be charged. If the balance isnot paid in full 2 weeks prior to the event, your reservation will be cancelled and no event will be provided.
Can I change my date?
Yes. We allow a one time change, as long as the new date you are requesting is available and the change is made more than 90 days in advance. The request to change a date must be made in writing.
What is your cancellation policy?
You may cancel the event for a refund of the amount paid including your security deposit as long as The View receives written notification of cancellation within 72 hours of the day of first booking. Cancellation requests past the 72 hours of the day of first booking will lose the initial amount paid. However, the security deposit will be refunded and any remaining balance will no longer be due. If we are able to book another event to replace the cancellation The View will refund the amount paid, minus a $100 administration fee.
How many guests can The View accomodate?
For a sit-down banquet style event The View can comfortably accommodate 130 seated guests and still have room for food tables, a gift table and cake table, and/or standing guests. The number of guests we can accomodate for a reception style, flow-through event depends on the layout but should easily accomodate 300+ guests throughout the night. For a ceremony style event we can easily accommodate 130 seated guests.
Can we come early? or Stay late?
The rental includes 6 hours or 12 hours of exclusive use of the venue space. This time slot accounts for set-up and clean-up. Extra hours or all day rental can be provided for an additional cost. You, your permitted invitees, and your vendors will have access to The View starting at the beginning of your reserved time block and no earlier.
