WHAT’S INCLUDED WITH THE SPACE RENTAL?

The rental fee covers the cost of using your exclusive space. Food & beverage options are not required, if guests will be purchasing their own. Outside food & beverages are not permitted, aside from specialty dessert items (birthday/wedding cake, etc.)

HOW CAN I LOCK IN MY SPACE?

We ask for a 50% deposit on your space rental, up front, to lock in your date. The rest isn’t due until 48 hours before your event.

CAN WE BRING OUR OWN FOOD & BEVERAGES TO OUR EVENT?

Depot 303 is a shared restaurant space, so we do not allow outside food or beverages with the exception of cakes or specialty desserts. We are home to 7 fantastic food vendors and a self-serve drink station to keep your guests happy and refreshed. If you’d like to provide food & beverages for your guests, we have two options for you—Gift Cards or Catering. A good rule of thumb is plan for $12-15 per head if you go with catering & soft drinks, and $15-20 per head if you plan to pass out gift cards.

CAN WE BRING OUR OWN ALCOHOLIC DRINKS?

No outside alcohol is allowed, but don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! Our full bar offers beer, wine, cocktails, and several packages to match your event. Guests can be on their own for alcohol (hey, we’re all adults here…), we can provide you with drink tickets to pass out which will help limit your bar tab and ensure all guests get a drink, you can set a specific dollar limit for the bar tab, or leave it open and party it up! Alcoholic beverages will be paid for at the end of your event since all bar options are based on consumption. 

HOW LONG DO WE HAVE BEFORE & AFTER OUR EVENT TO SET UP & BREAK DOWN?

We give you a 20-minute buffer on both sides of your event for setup and cleanup. Need a little extra wiggle room? You can always book an additional hour to make things stress-free.

CAN WE DECORATE FOR OUR EVENT?

Yes! We love seeing your creativity shine. Go ahead and decorate however you’d like, just skip anything that could damage the space (nails, screws, etc.) or leave us with a big mess (sorry, glitter and confetti lovers, we’ve learned that lesson the hard way!). Flameless candles are welcome, but no open flames.

CAN WE BRING IN LIVE MUSIC OR A DJ?

Sorry, we are not licensed for live music or outside entertainment. But good news, you can hook up your own playlist if you book our outdoor patio space, The Platform. Plus, we’ve got a microphone available in both spaces if you need it for announcements or a little emcee action.

WE BOOKED THE PLATFORM. WHAT IF THE WEATHER DOES NOT COOPERATE?

Our outdoor patio, The Platform, is covered and screened, so most of the time your event is good to go rain or shine. But if there’s extreme weather (think tornado or hurricane winds) or temps dip below 40°F, here’s the plan:

• If The Station (our indoor space) is not in use by another private event, we’ll move you right inside.

• If The Station is booked, we’ll help you grab tables inside Depot 303—but those are first-come, first-served, and we can’t rope off or reserve sections.
