ALLOTTED TIME
The facility can be opened as early as 10:00 am for early setup. The event can last until midnight
(unless a half-day package). If you need the space the night before, it is considered another event
date and, therefore, incurs another charge.
CLEANING
The rental includes the pre- and post-cleanup of the facility. If you choose to rent our tables and
chairs, we will arrange them to your specifications and tear them down following your event.
INSURANCE
A $1,000,000 special events policy must be obtained for the day(s) of the event. This policy shall
list La Famiglia, LLC (dba 409 South Main) as additionally insured. A copy of the policy shall be
provided to us 30 days prior to the date(s) of the event.
If you are serving alcohol and charging admission with complimentary drinks, you must also take
out a host liquor liability policy for the day(s) of the event. A copy of the policy shall be provided
to us 30 days prior to the date(s) of the event.
ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION
If you plan to serve or sell alcohol (beer, wine or mixed drinks) during your event, we require
that you use an ABC-certified bartender. You may independently contract with an ABC-certified
bartender or you may obtain an ABC-certified bartender through your caterer if your caterer has
an LBD license. In either case, you must provide a current copy of the bartender’s ABC card and/
or the caterer’s LBD license 30 days prior to the date(s) of your event.
If you are hosting an event with a cash bar (selling beer, wine or mixed drinks) or if you charge an
admission to the event and provide complimentary beer, wine or mixed drinks, you must obtain a
special events permit and hire an ABC-certified bartender.

No spray materials on the windows or glass surfaces (i.e. artificial snow).

We prefer flameless candles, but allow traditional candles that are in a container or votive. No
open flame candles are permitted.
•
You must use zip ties or Command hooks to hang lights, pictures, curtains, etc. No nails or staples
are permitted.
We are located in a residential area and we want to be good neighbors.
•
No outside celebratory activities (i.e. confetti, bird seed, sparklers, etc.) that may litter the
sidewalk and streets.

Keep doors closed during the event to minimize the noise level outside.

We are a non-smoking venue. If you must smoke, please step outside (Main St or Huling exits) to
smoke and of course, properly dispose of your cigarette butts.
•
All music (band or DJ) must be off by midnight and the venue vacated by 12:30 am. If the venue
is not vacated by 12:30 am, an hourly charge $250/hr. will be charged.
•
No ticket sales permitted at the door.
If you have items delivered to the venue such as tables & chairs, additional furniture, props,
linens, etc., please arrange to have these picked up immediately after your event.
•
We often have an event the next day and must be able to clean and setup the venue for the next
event.
Although cleaning is included in our general rental fee, there is an “excessive cleaning” fee
of $500 that will be charged to you should we find the building in unusual disrepair.
Examples are:
a) Trash outside the building
b) Stopped up toilets or sinks
c) Excrement or vomitus (inside or outside)
