Absolutely! You’re welcome to bring your own food or hire your favorite catering service. Just let us know ahead of time so we can help coordinate. You can also decorate the space however you’d like — just make sure to remove everything (balloons, tablecloths, furniture, etc.) at the end of your rental time. Please avoid glue, paint, or sprays that could damage the walls or floors.
