IMPORTANT REMINDERS:

● Your rental is a 14 hour rental time period (unless other arrangements have been previously made). All gates and doors will remain closed and locked until rental time begins at 10am. A late exit will result in a loss of deposit, as well as an additional hourly rate fee of $300/hour.

● Please make sure your clean up crew is thoroughly informed on their clean up duties. This includes removing all trash from inside the venue (including chapel, patios, yards, etc.), bagging the trash, placing it in the provided dumpster (in corner of the parking lot) - as well as removing all personal belongings, wiping down tables, etc.

● Please note that the circle backdrop is fragile and cannot be moved out of the chapel. If you do not wish to use it, we will have it moved to the rear of the room. Additionally, the wooden cross is to remain in the chapel at all times.

● Please ensure all of Venue 311’s décor items are left at Venue 311 (this includes bridal robes).

● Please ensure that alcohol is not being served until both your bartenders and security officers are present (note that 1-100 guests needs 1 officer, 101-200 needs 2, 201-250 needs 3). If the correct number of security guards are not hired for the event, there is an immediate loss of deposit.

● Please note that there can be no balloon or lantern releases of any kind out of respect for our neighbors, the nearby animals and the environment.

● If you need ramp set up at chapel for wheelchairs please note that here:

● As a courtesy to our couples, we allow a limited amount of beer/mimosas for the wedding party while getting ready. However, due to recent overindulgence & abuse of this privilege, we would like to remind you that this must be kept to a minimum and there is no liquor, kegs or overindulgence allowed. If the V311 staff member feels any of these have been violated, all alcohol will be confiscated until the bartender/security arrives. Once your guests begin arriving, all alcohol must be hidden or placed behind the bar until bartenders/security are on site.

● Children must be watched by a parent or guardian at ALL times for their safety & the well-being of the venue. If a staff member has addressed this issue and it repeats itself, the family in question may be asked to exit the premises.
