RENTAL FAQs

A $500 deposit and a signed contract is required to book a date on our rental calendar.  

The $500 deposit is non-refundable.  With receipt of a signed contract and deposit, we agree to hold a specific date for you and are bound to refuse any future requests for a booking on that date.  We understand that cancellations are sometimes unavoidable and unintentional, but to maintain our viability as a rental venue, we must insure against recurring losses with a non-refundable deposit.

Tables & chairs are included in the price of the PLAN that you choose.  We will set them up for you and take them down after your event.

Renters are responsible for only normal clean up.  Unless prior arrangements have been made, this needs to be done immediately following your event. Normal cleanup consists of boxing up your decorations & displays that were brought in during your setup time, and sweeping up table favors or wedding toss that has accumulated on the floor.  All trash must be bagged, tied, and taken to the dumpster.

With a weekend rental, we are usually able to let you come in on the day before your event from Noon – 5 p.m. to decorate, bring items in, or do special set ups.  This is a courtesy service and the space may not always be available the day before, so please ask or email a AMOA representative to confirm.
