Please do not delay or diminish someone else's event. While some of these items may not cause permanent damage, they do require a rigorous cleaning process that would make the space unavailable to our other guests. Our staff may be able to offer suggestions or alternatives to some of these prohibited items based on your goals. Please consult with them prior to your event.
*Please note that all decorative items that you bring into our spaces are subject to review by Reservation and Conference Services staff prior to your event. Items that are determined to be destructive to our facilities will need to be removed.
