Cleanup is yours. The homepage says the venue does not clean up after events, though it provides ladders, trash cans, trash bags and cleanup supplies. Line up family or a crew.
The courtyard
The venue describes a secluded, updated courtyard for food trucks, a photo bus or a live band. For a summer evening it is the reason to book here; budget the $500 in season.
