When your time block begins, we will have all of your tables, chairs and tablecloths set so the room will be ready for you or your vendors to decorate at that time. Additional hours may be available for purchase, depending upon booked events.
What about Event Liability Insurance?
Special event insurance, sometimes called “wedding insurance” or a “day of policy” can help protect your investment in a private event, such as a wedding or reception.
Event Insurance is required for 2Gather Events.
Special event liability coverage may also help protect you if you're found legally responsible for damage to the venue or an injury to someone at the event. If one of your guests damages a wall at the banquet hall, or if your photographer trips and sprains his ankle trying to get a shot you requested, the resulting repairs or medical bills would likely be covered. The liability coverage is usually limited to a 24- to 48-hour period that ends when the reception is over. Coverage limits may vary by policy, so be sure to read yours so that you know how much your insurance covers.

Will my vendors need liability insurance?
If you rent a venue and want to bring in outside vendors, it’s normal for the venue to require a proof of insurance from those vendors. This is so that the venue and the vendor is covered in the event that damage is caused to either the property or an individual. 2Gather requires catering companies and alcohol service providers to provide a Certificate of Insurance.
It is not your responsibility to secure insurance for your vendors. The venue and vendors should coordinate the arrangements and get together the proper paperwork. In the rare case that this doesn’t happen, ask your vendors to get in touch with their insurance agents and request copies of the appropriate documentation. You will, however, need to ask and make sure your vendor candidates have the proper licensing and insurance.
Is there a catering kitchen?
2GATHER provides a catering prep kitchen that features sinks, refrigerators, prep counter space and ice machine. Our catering kitchen is not equipped with a stove or oven or heating elements.
What about cooking our own food at the building?
2GATHER provides a prep space, however it does not come equipped with a stove, oven or heating elements. The prep space is ideal for preparing cold items and placing warm items in chaffing dishes. Caterers or restaurants should be prepared to bring the food in hot boxes to keep food warm for your event. Chafing dishes, Sterno and any other items needed to serve or keep hot food will need to be provided by caterer. Sterno is a brand of jellied, denatured alcohol sold in a can and meant to be burned directly in its can. Its primary uses are in food service for buffet heating, in the home for fondue, and as a chafing fuel for heating chafing dishes
Should I use plastic ware or real plates and flatware?
2GATHER is not equipped with sink garbage disposals or dishwashers. Any items brought in will be removed to be cleaned. There are many onsite businesses with beautiful, high-quality disposable plates and flatware. The feedback from couples who have used disposables is that they were so glad they did! Doing so removes a level of complexity as well as reduced cost for your reception catering experience.
