Vendor Access & Policies

These policies detail rental drop off and pick up times as well as vendor access for event set up and post-event strike. Please make sure your vendors are aware of our policies in order to receive accurate estimates as you are planning your event!

 

American Party Rentals and CE Rentals
After working closely with American Party Rentals and CE Rentals for many years, we have arranged regular drop off and pick up hours for these companies in particular due to the nature of their deliveries and schedule. They are as follows:

RENTAL DROP OFF  Rentals from American Party Rentals and CE Rentals may be dropped off between 8am-12pm the day of the event.  Early morning events which require drop-off on the day prior to the event may incur additional fees.

RENTAL PICK UP  Rentals from American Party Rentals and CE Rentals must be picked up between 8am-12pm the day after the event.  Dance floors and tents may be exempt from this pickup time depending on our event schedule.

 

Caterers and Other Vendors
The following drop off and pick up times apply to caterers and all other vendors.

DROP OFF / SET UP   Access for all vendors to The Cookery’s facility begins promptly 4 hours prior to the start time of an event.  If you wish to allow vendors access to the facility prior to the 4 hour set up window, you are welcome to purchase early access for $150/hour.

PICK UP / STRIKE TIMES   Strike of all items must take place within the first hour following the end of the event (this hour is the break-down window).  This includes but is not limited to: florals, lighting, décor items, rental furniture, DJ and band equipment, photo booths etc. as well as all of your personal property.  All rentals must be placed on the dance floor, or otherwise specified location, by catering staff during the 1-hour strike time provided post event.

Contact your event lead if you wish to leave personal property or rentals, other than food service and linens, in the space overnight instead of striking items post event. You may purchase a 10:00am pickup of items the following morning for $350. Availability of overnight storage of these items is dependent on The Cookery’s event schedule.
