- Will you need a sexton for clean-up?
- If you are having a dinner, will you require use of table settings?

II.Is this a private affair?
- Contact Administrative Assistant to check for availability
- Confirm the date and specify what area of the facility you wish to use, i.e., Dove Hall, kitchen, classroom, etc.
- Complete the contract form, procure liability insurance (your homeowner’s policy should cover off-site events) and pay the rental fee.
- Do you wish to hire the sexton for clean-up? This is an additional fee; ultimately, you are responsible for leaving the areas you use at least as clean as you found them.

III.Are you renting space for commercial purposes?
- Contact Administrative Assistant with details of your enterprise, days and times you wish to occupy space and what specific area you wish to rent, i.e., Dove Hall, kitchen, classroom, etc.

- No part of the facility may be used during Christian holidays or earlier than 1PM on Sundays.
- Your fee will depend on the amount of space rented and length of time you occupy the space.
- You must provide liability insurance, complete the contract form and pay the first month’s rent. There will also be a security deposit which will be used to repair any damages. If there are no damages caused by you or your clients, the fee may be refunded.
Looking for a tasteful, elegant space to host your next event?
Look no further than our beautiful, newly-renovated hall, “The Dove”. Its soaring ceilings, topped with handsome wood arches, create a spacious, open feeling to the room. The neutral Tuscan-inspired color-scheme will accent any décor you choose for your event. Several large bronze chandeliers provide abundant light for a glowing atmosphere. Whether using the hall during the day, with side light windows ushering in natural light, or in the evening with its softly lit wall sconces, “The Dove” sets the stage for a successful event. Speaking of stages; the hall boasts a raised dais to highlight your entertainment or speaker, or for use as a head-table area to seat the bridal party/guest of honor.
With its own entrance under a covered portico, “The Dove’s” entryway is perfect in case of inclement weather and is step-free and handicapped accessible. Whether your banquet is catered or home-cooked, we also have a large fully-equipped kitchen which can be utilized to prepare/reheat/serve a full meal onsite or, for use by caterers.
