What about security?
The Columbus Club may determine that your function will require extra security and the provision of police officers will be your responsibility.
How late can a party last?
We are concerned about our neighbors, since it is a residential zone, and as a result parties cannot end later than 11pm.

The time allotted for a rental would normally be a period of time up to four hours. An hour prior and an hour after the event is allowed for set up and clean up.

When can we decorate?
There is the hour prior to your event and if the function is held in our main hall (like a wedding reception) it may also be possible to decorate the night before. We will try to accommodate your needs.
Why are there so many concerns?
The Columbus Club makes it a priority to provide a safe environment for your event, party or function. In order to fulfill your needs and those of all our customers we have to make the maintenance of the building and the kitchen a primary concern.
