All spirits are welcome at The Venue events. A higher retainer will be required if liquor (does not include beer and wine) is served. The Venue will provide contract security personnel from the Newberry County Sheriff’s Office at the renter’s expense. One officer per hundred guests will be required for the event. Cost per officer will be $50.00 per hour for a minimum of 3 hours. The officers will be required for the length of the event. If liquor is served, one officer per 75 guests will be required.
Due to the fire hazard, there is ABSOLUTELY NO smoking in the pavilion. Smoking areas are designated to the exterior concrete surfaces and on the groom’s patio. Sand-filled urns are provided to extinguish and to dispose of cigarettes and/or cigarette butts. Black Grove reserves the right to ask anyone to extinguish at any time.
We have ample facilities to accommodate all guests. The main barn features 2 restrooms for women and men. Each includes handicap accessible stalls. The bridal suite has private access to Ladies’ restroom. The groom’s suite has a separate restroom. The vendors have access to a unisex restroom outside the Black Grove Office.
The doors of Black Grove open at 12 p.m. Typical events end at 10 p.m. A fee of $250 per hour will be assessed for non-compliance. All guests and vendors must be off the premises by 11:00 p.m.
Due to the turnover of Black Grove events, all deliveries and pickup must be done during the hours of your contracted event, including the clean-up time for the breakdown of all tables, chairs and linens as well as trash removal unless stipulated differently in the contract.
