Frequently Asked Questions
This depends not only on the campus or university you’re looking at but also on the state and district it resides in and the campus or university’s stance on alcohol for non-affiliated private events. Most venues will allow alcohol, but some may ban it, and some may require you to use their on-campus supplier rather than bringing your own.
This can vary from venue to venue. Some may allow you to cater, while others require the use of their in-house catering service.
Venues have different contingency plans for rain. We advise discussing this with your Unique Venues contact and the venue to arrange a suitable contingency plan.
