Policies and Regulations
We are very happy to be part of your event. Please read the following contract carefully and feel free to ask any questions before committing. A non-refundable 50% deposit along with a signed Event Space/Whole House Rental Contract is required to reserve the event date and time. Any written or verbal communication, without a signed contract and deposit accepted by CSI/LLC, is a quote only and not a reservation. Final payment is due to Central Schoolhouse Inn on the day of the event when the Renter and their agents/caterers are ready to vacate the premises. We delay final payment to this time in order that any overtime charges or add-on rental items can be included in the balance due. Cash, check and credit cards are accepted, check being the preferred method of payment. If Renter cancels or reduces reserved days/spaces, no refunds will be made, unless we are able to re-rent any portion of the reserved dates/spaces and that refund will be limited to value of re-rented dates/spaces. Please note that if you have reserved any Bed and Breakfast bedrooms in conjunction with your event there is a $35 cancellation fee for each room per day.
Please be aware that CSI/LLC is a non-smoking facility, no pets are allowed, and we are not handicap accessible other than an entrance ramp. There are no handicap restrooms available. If any guests under age 18 attend your event Renter assumes responsibility for keeping them in the designated event areas. Children cannot play with the piano, run free on the premises, go upstairs or be unsupervised at any time.
Capacity and Use
Renter understands that the maximum standing capacity of the first floor of CSI/LLC is 90 people occupying the Parlor, Dining Room and Vestibule and will not exceed this limit. The event space is restricted to the first floor and use of designated bathroom(s). Renter acknowledges that second floor rooms may be occupied, and guests are not to be disturbed. Renter agrees to allow upstairs occupants ingress and egress to and from the property through first floor rooms. Parking for events is limited to public lots located behind CSI/LLC. Our private parking lot is reserved for use by our Bed and Breakfast guests and Whole House Rentals.
Site Preparation
Central Schoolhouse Inn is a historic property containing fragile building elements and décor that require special handling. Furniture and fixtures will not be moved and/or removed for any event except by pre-arrangement with CSI/LLC. No nails, adhesives, removable fasteners or tape may be used on the walls. Confetti, glitter, rice, birdseed or flower petals are confined to the outdoor areas. No candles except battery operated are allowed. In the event of any damages occurring to furniture or fixtures the Renter will be held solely responsible and will be billed accordingly. The facility rental fee is for the chosen room space and bathroom facilities only, including our standard setup of tables, chairs and linens. Extensive furniture re-arranging or additional tables/linen changes will be detailed on an addendum page of the contract and be charged in addition to the room rental.
THE POTENTIAL USE OF ANY BACKDROP OR “CHAMPAGNE” WALL MUST FIRST BE CLEARED BY CSI. WE MUST KNOW THE WEIGHT, SIZE AND MATERIALS BEFOREHAND IN ORDER TO PROTECT OUR HARDWOOD FLOORS AND DOORWAYS.
