How many hours do I get for my event?

You will get use of Avent facilities from 9am - 11pm CST during all wedding rentals, or based on the hours you have paid for with hourly rentals. This time includes hours for set-up, & the event. Tear-down and clean up must be completed within one hour of the event end time. Additional requests will be handled on a case by case basis, based on availability. 

​

Can I use any vendors I like?

Yes, you are able to bring in any vendor you would like. They do need to be approved by our staff and the caterers must be licensed and insured with documents on file in our office. We do have a very robust preferred vendor list available for clients as well to help ease the planning process!

What is your alcohol policy?

If you are wanting to serve alcohol at your event you must use one of Avent's bar packages found HERE.

Can I come early to decorate?

You are allowed access to the building when your contracted time starts. When your time block begins, we will have your tables set so you can begin decorating them. If you need to come onsite the day before for any reason, you will need to purchase additional hours based on venue availability. 30 days before your event, if we are not booked, we will allow you an hourly rental, for a fee. Please plan accordingly.

​

Will Avent staff help set-up or tear down decor?

We do not offer any decorating services at this time, you will be responsible for that. Should you need assistance, we highly recommend hiring a professional wedding planner or coordinator, and we are happy to recommend several to you in our preferred vendor brochure upon booking!

Am I able to have my rehearsal there?

All wedding rentals receive one complimentary hour for a walkthrough of your wedding ceremony. You are able to inquire about venue availability at your final walkthrough (30-45 days before your event) and rent the space or the hotel patio for an onsite dinner based on availability. 

​

Do we have to set up our own chairs and tables or take them down?

Of course not! We want to take the extra work off your plate, so when you arrive, the initial setup of tables and chairs will be done. If any transitioning of the room from ceremony to reception is needed, we will take care of that flip for you for no additional cost.
