Venue Rental Policies

Food Trucks: Allowed - We love out of the ordinary cuisine! Food Trucks are a cool way to do something a little different. All Trucks must submit the necessary health department licensing and insurance information. A full service wait staff is still required for the entirety of your event. We have found serving a truck's food "buffet style" is the most efficient way of making sure your guests receive their food hot and in a timely manner.
Sparklers: Allowed - We do require you to provide a metal bucket or receptacle (not plastic) filled with sand or water to extinguish the flames. Sparklers must be used in the space behind the Inn. We ask that they be left to extinguish for at least an hour before throwing them in the trash. Other fireworks are not permitted per city ordinance.
Rehearsal Dinners: Allowed - When you sign a contract to rent the venue for an event, it includes a 3 day rental span (Fri.-Sun. or 3 days during the week). Check in is 3:00pm the first day of the contracted time. You are welcome to utilize all the grounds and the inn (excluding the kitchen) for the entirety of your rental time with no extra charge. We can also provide catering for your rehearsal dinner if desired (for a fee), or you are welcome to bring in catering of your choice. Please note that any and all trash, cleanup etc. from the previous evening is the responsibility of the guests, as no waitstaff will be on hand to service the rehearsal dinner unless contracted otherwise.
Farewell Brunch: Allowed - We are happy to facilitate a send off brunch for you and your guests if desired. Brunch for the 12 guests of the Dunbar House are free with venue contract, and each additional person will be charged an additional fee.
