Yes. A deposit is required to secure your date.
If an event is canceled by the Lessee there will be a $100 ($250 wedding package) cancellation fee. This fee will be retained from the reservation deposit. The balance of the reservation deposit will be refunded if the City of Fortuna is able to re-rent the facility for the same date(s). The full deposit will be refunded after your event is held and the facility is left clean and damage free.
Yes, City of Fortuna requires insurance in order to hold events at our facilities.
Your caterer may provide linens for you, or it may be rented through the River Lodge with advanced notice. A final floorplan (and table count) should be submitted 3-4 weeks prior to your event so that the appropriate number of table cloths and/or cloth napkins can be ordered by River Lodge staff, if needed.
Yes. Events involving alcohol may require a larger deposit. If you intend to sell alcohol, a copy of your liquor license/permit must be turned in to River Lodge prior to the start of your event.
No, the kitchen is sold separately from your rental fee. S
Of course!
Yes! Please remember that regardless of whether you (the lessee) hire an outside caterer or you cater your event yourself, you are ultimately the party responsible for the kitchen. You may be fined and/or your deposit may be partially or fully withheld if the kitchen is not left in pre-event condition - the kitchen must be left ready for the next group to use.
