Reservations & Deposits
To hold an event date, OMH management needs a signed contract and the required deposit.
–A 50% deposit of the full rental rate is due at the signing of the contract. The 50% deposit is applied to the total of the rental and the remaining balance is due 30 days prior to the event, as well as a security deposit based on the size of the event.
–The security deposit is held until after the event and returned within 2 weeks after the event if no damages have occurred. Any damage above the security deposit will be billed to the responsible party.

Alcohol
Old Metropolitan Hall does not have an ABC license. Any necessary alcohol licenses are left solely to the renter (although normally obtained by caterer).
Catering
OMH is not exclusive to any caterers but requires caterers as well as other vendors to be approved. Food and beverage arrangements are left to the sole discretion of the renter. Any first-time (unapproved) caterers must meet with OMH prior to the event and must sign a catering contract. OMH has a catering kitchen and works regularly with local caterers. There are two parking spots provided for catering vehicles at the rear of the building.
Venue Manager
As a part of your rental fee, OMH will provide an onsite venue manager as point-of-contact for renter. This person is in charge of the facility and will generally be out-of-sight.
