A $547 refundable deposit is listed for rentals with alcohol, vendors and/or kitchen use. Other event types may use a different deposit.
Cancellation and refund provisions should be reviewed on the current application and final rental agreement rather than assumed from older online descriptions.

Full Riverview Room at $124/hour for three hours. Insurance, deposit and special services can increase the total.
