Discounts

 

We are pleased to make available a 10% discount on all fees to BHS members who have maintained an active membership for six (6) months or more at the time of booking the event.

​

Special Event Insurance

 

BHS requires all individuals and organizations holding events at the Castle to obtain liability insurance and submit this to BHS ten (10) days or more prior to the event.

​

Security/Damage Deposit

 

The security deposit fee of $100-500, depending on the event space, is required and due together with a 50% rental fee down payment upon the signing of this agreement. If everything is left in satisfactory condition, the deposit fee will be returned to you within thirty days. You will be liable for any damage or loss incurred in excess of the deposit and will be billed accordingly.  

​

Alcohol

 

If you wish to serve alcohol — beer, wine, champagne, hard liquor — you must make arrangements through a licensed and insured caterer, as mandated by the New York State Liquor Authority. Our staff is happy to provide you with additional information.

​

Parking

 

Free on-site parking is available on weekday evenings and weekends to guests with advance registration.

​

Event Set-up

 

Outside of your event hours, we can offer you up to four hours of set-up time during our business hours. This is subject to BHS needs and after discussion and agreement with BHS. Should you or your vendors require earlier access or additional time to set up on the day of your event, an hourly fee will apply as per the contract. We are happy to work with you on all these details to ensure a smooth and stress-free event!

​

Clean-up

 

You and your caterer are responsible for clean-up following the event. Tables must be broken down, chairs stacked, kitchen surfaces wiped clean, and trash and recyclables removed as part of clean-up.
