Many of the following questions are information you should consider when selecting a site for a wedding reception, party or banquet.  These questions apply no matter which site you are looking at.  We have provided the answers for Stony Point Hall below each question.

Q.

Will the hall accomodate all of my guests comfortably?

A.

Stony Point Hall can seat up to 299 guests for dinner, with room for a dance floor and banquet tables.  The indoor hall is heated and air conditioned for year-round comfort.  Outdoor covered porches allow guests to step outside even in poor weather.

Q.

Does the facility have adequate parking?  Does it include handicapped parking?

A.

Stony Point Hall has 47 parking spaces adjoining the hall, with an additional 40+ parking spaces nearby.  Two handicapped spaces are immediately next to the hall entrance.

Q.

Are there adequate restroom facilities?

A.

Two restrooms are provided (men and women), with eleven total toilets, including handicapped facilities.

Q.

Is the dance floor large enough?

We provide a wood, portable dance floor.  It is made up of 1 foot squares and can be up to 16 foot square.

Is there a public address system?

A.

We have a built-in public address system available for rent that is setup to accomodate speaking, background music or DJ music.  Two wireless microphones are available for use.

Q.

Will you provide extras such as valet parking, serving attendants or bartenders?

A.

Stony Point Hall does not provide additional services such as these.  However, we are setup to accomodate these services as provided by others.

Q.

Is security necessary?  If so, will you provide it?

A.

We do not believe security is necessary at our facility.  The Hall is on a private farm in the country.  There is no risk of the general public "inviting" themselves to an event.  If the nature of your event is such that security is necessary, it will have to be provided by an outside agency.

Q.

Are there enough electrical outlets for the entertainment?

A.

We provide plenty of electrical outlets to serve entertainers, food service and additional lighting.

Q.

Am I required to use your food and beverages?

A.

No!  Stony Point Hall is not in the catering business, and we are open to any outside catering source, or do-it-yourselfers..

Q.

Are there enough tables and chairs?

A.

We provide enough round-top tables to seat 299 guests, and have 400 chairs.  If you desire banquet style tables for guest seating, they will have to be brought in.  We do provide a few banquet tables for food, drinks, gift tables, etc.  Chairs can be used indoors or outside for ceremonies or activities.

Q.

How early can I get in to set up?

A.

On the day of your event, the Hall will be open by 8am.  If you wish to have access earlier that day, we can certainly arrange it.  If the hall is not booked for an event the day before, we can arrange to have it available for setup at that time as well.

Q.

Do you have any decorations I can use ?

A.

We do not keep a stock of decorations, but the hall itself has some built in decoration.  The upper walls are covered in sheer white curtains that are washed with soft lighting.  The ceiling is draped with white fabric swags in an "X" pattern.  There are also four columns along the walls that are covered in circular floor to ceiling white curtains.  Inside these columns we have theater lighting that can be set to any color.  This lighting washes the curtained columns and creates a very special effect!

Q.

By what time must I be out?

A.

The music for an event must end by midnight, and all invited guests must be out by 1am.  A cleanup/breakdown crew may stay as late as necessary.

Q.

Will I be responsible for cleanup?

A.

We ask that all trash be bagged and left in the kitchen, and all decorations that you wish to keep be removed.  We will do the final cleanup such as sweeping and mopping.  If you wish to have us handle the entire cleanup, that can be arranged for an additional fee.

Q.

Will someone be on hand to let the caterer, florist, baker, etc., in?

A.

Yes, just let us know when these people are scheduled to arrive, and we will be on hand to let them into the Hall.  We live on-site, so someone is almost always here.

Q.

How much is the rental fee and what is included?

A.

Go to Hall Rental to see the rental fees.  Tables and chairs, as well as basic setup are included.

Q.

Does the rental fee include gratuities and tax?

A.

Tax is included, and there are no hidden gratuities.

Q.

How much are the extras?

A.

Go to Hall Rental to see the extras available and their rental/purchase prices.

Q.

How soon must the Hall be reserved?

A.

We will entertain rentals the day before an event, but do not recommend it.  Certain times of the year can fill up fast.  Also, if you want the tables and chairs setup we need a few days notice.  It is in your best interest to reserve the hall as soon as possible, but we are willing to book the day before if it is available.  Look your date up on the Calendar to see if your event date is open.

Q.

How much is the deposit?  When is it due?

A.

One half of the rental fee is your deposit.  The deposit and a signed contract are required to formally reserve the hall.

Q.

What is the cancellation policy?

A.

Cancellations result in forfeiture of the deposit.  Only if we are able to rebook the cancelled date, we will refund the deposit in full.

Q.

Are the guests permitted to throw birdseed or rice?

A.

Yes, we allow birdseed, rice and confetti, so long as what is used is biodegradable.

Q.

What measures are taken for liquor liability?

A.

There are two ways you can provide liquor for your guests.  One is to hire a caterer or liquor provider with the proper license to sell and serve alcohol.  Or, you can provide it yourself under certain guidelines.  We have a supplemental contract that covers these guidelines.  In either case, Stony Point Hall holds itself not responsible for the proper service of liquor.

Q.

Can I put up temporary signs directing my guests to the hall for my event?

A.

Yes, Douglas County permits temporary signs so long as they are in place no more than two days.

Q.

Can I have fireworks or a fireworks display for my event?

A.

This depends on the time of year and type of fireworks.  Novelty fireworks such as sparklers, party poppers and snappers are allowed any time.  Class "C" fireworks, or common fireworks that can be purchased at a fireworks stand, are unrestricted on July 1-4.  Class "B" fireworks, or professional fireworks, and Class "C" fireworks at times other than July 1-4 require a county permit.  Please contact Stony Point Hall for details.

Q.

I have a website, can you put a link to it on my listing from the calendar? (wedding website, corporate website, personal blog, etc.)

A.

Absolutely.  Many people with a website relevant to their event find it useful to have a link from their listing on our calendar to that website.  Just let us know the URL address and we will set that up at no charge.
