A Few Things to Know About this Package

This is a DIY event, and as such (aside from certain aspects of set up which are provided by the venue) you and/or your helpers are responsible for your set up, including table settings and other décor, food & beverage set up and service, etc.
You and/or your caterer are responsible for providing all food, beverages, disposable plates, beverage cups, napkins, utensils, etc., and ice.
An HH&A staff member will be here before you arrive onsite. They will be present for the first hour to answer questions from your helpers and vendors and direct them as necessary, so you don’t have to, and so that your vision is properly executed.
While our staff member is not considered day-of-event coordinator and will not be present at your event the entire time, they will never leave the property and will be available as needed, and to make playlist changes, throughout the duration of your event. Their role is to assist in making your day go smoothly and ensure that your experience with us is stress-free as possible! But we still don't consider them a day-of event coordinator.

Event Liability Insurance is required. You will find the cost to be extremely reasonable and well worth the peace of mind it provides. Among other things, this insurance includes Host Liquor Liability coverage, so we allow for BYOB without the mandate of a TABC bartender.
Onsite Security is required if alcohol is being served, and/or if the total number of persons in attendance at your event is 30 or more, regardless of whether or not alcohol is being served (some exceptions apply and are at the discretion of HH&A’s venue management).
There are two bathrooms in The Stone House; a guest bathroom and a full bathroom with a shower. There is an additional guest bathroom located in the Ruby Chapel/Private Movie Theater, which is available when booking a Bundle Package.
Climate-controlled indoor spaces.
Seasonally appropriate Patio Heaters and Evaporation Coolers are available for use on the patio.
A Fire in the Fireplace may be added as an optional service for coziness and ambience in those chilly winter months.
An appropriate number of trash cans and trash bags will be provided by HH&A.
Optional Post-Event Cleaning Service. If you would prefer to leave with just the personal items and decor you brought with you let us handle the mess.
You will have access to the venue at the Rental Time listed on your Event Rental Agreement, not earlier. Please plan accordingly!
