Do you require a security deposit? What other fees will be charged?

A 30% security deposit is required upon signing this contract. This deposit is non-refundable and will be applied to the total rental fee. The remaining balance is due 30 days before the event date. 

An incidental fee of $200 will be collected as part of the rental agreement. If no damages are incurred during the event, this fee will be fully refunded to the Lessee within 48 hours after inspection of the hall after the event. If damages are found, the incidental fee will be retained by Sweeten Hall to cover repair costs. Any costs exceeding the incidental fee will be billed to the Lessee.

Do you have any requirements for vendors?

Vendors must be able to present a Certificate of Insurance.
