Question 1

How long will I have the room?

Accepted Answer

You can party away from 8 AM – 2 AM. If you have a four or eight-hour rental the hours will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

Question 2

Can I extend the rental period?

Accepted Answer

18 hours isn’t enough? For $250 per hour, you can extend the celebration.

Question 3

Can I use any caterer?

Accepted Answer

Mellwood knows that food is an important aspect of any party. As such, Mellwood allows any caterers without charging a service fee. You can even do a potluck style!

Question 4

Can I bring my own alcohol?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Your host liability insurance allows you to supply your own alcohol from any store. Paid bars will need licensed bartenders or a caterer with a permit to sell alcohol. Open bars simply require someone 21 or over to serve drinks.

Question 5

Does Mellwood supply linens?

Accepted Answer

No, we do not supply linens. You will need to purchase or rent linens from a separate vendor.

Question 6

Are candles allowed?

Accepted Answer

While Mellwood hopes your celebration is lit, we can only allow tea lights and candles submerged in water in our event rooms.

Question 7

When will I receive my damage deposit back?

Accepted Answer

Mellwood will contact you within one week if you have lost part of your damage deposit. If you have not been contacted within a week of your event, you should expect to receive your damage deposit back in full. Please allow 30-60 days to receive the check through the mail. It will be sent to the address on the check or address supplied on the contract unless otherwise specified.
