What Audio Video (A/V) equipment is available?

We have two built in projectors and screens in the Cobb room and one in the Connelly Room. We have an in house sound system with wireless microphones, HDMI compatible cords and most adapters needed to hook up your laptop to our projector system.

How late can we stay?

All events need to end by 10:00 pm. Time is allowed in your contract to remove all décor and we need time to finish final cleaning after that.

Do you have a piano?

We have a “Baby Grand” piano in the Connelly Room and a top of the line keyboard that can be used in the Cobb Room or in the lower level rooms if desired.

Can we play our playlist on your speakers?

For the most professional delivery, it is best that you hire a DJ or band to take care of your sound for your event. Our sound system has no system mixer and is great but it is set up for speaking and soft background music. It is not meant for performance level sound quality.

We recommend that you download your music to a memory device and test and retest prior to the event. We DO NOT guarantee internet speeds or capacity at all times due to inclement weather or other natural causes.

When is my final bill due?

Your event needs to be paid in full the day before the event is held.

Can we move lobby furniture?

No all Lobby furniture needs to stay in the lobby, please love our newly refinished wooden floors.

When my final head is count due?

In order to generously accommodate your event you must submit your guaranteed number of people, 7 days before the event. An upcharge could be added if the count changes dramatically and /or a food substitution may be used in the event we cannot accommodate the desired menu to be served.
