Is there a bridal party suite?
There is no on-site bridal suite at this time. There are several amazing options very close to the Ballroom that work well! Please inquire for the details.
Do I pay a deposit when I book?
You pay a Date Reservation Fee at contract signing, which is non-refundable and will be applied to your overall balance. For weddings, this is a $1,000 fee. For a social event, the full balance is due when you sign the contract. Please check out our Pricing tab for info.
Do you offer a payment plan for weddings?
We do! You will pay a Date Reservation Fee to reserve your wedding date. Then, you will pay in 25% increments until your balance is paid in full:
$1,000 Date Reservation Fee due at contract signing
25% due 1 year prior to your event
25% due 9 months prior
25% due 6 months prior
Final balance due 3 months prior
Any additions or charges accrued between the final payment and the conclusion of your event are due at the conclusion of your event.
What is the responsibility of the Venue Manager?
The on-site Venue Manager is present at your event to make sure the Venue is operating properly and to address any Venue related issues that may arise. We do staff two Day-of Coordinators who are ready and willing to assist with making sure the details of your event are perfect! We are happy to provide a Day-of Coordinator for your event for an additional fee. Please ask us how to add a Day-of Coordinator to your wedding or event at no additional charge!
If we book an all-inclusive package, do we get to pick the menu?
Absolutely! We have several catering partners and we will find the best fit for your event based on your menu preferences and your chosen date. Once we choose a catering partner, you will be able to finalize your event menu based on their menu options.
Where do my guests park?
Like many downtown venues, parking can be a challenge! We have a parking lot, and guests can use the parking lot directly adjacent to ours in the evenings and on weekends. There is metered parking on Main Street just one block from the Ballroom that costs approx. $0.25/hour. We also own a spacious parking lot at 901 N. Spring Street and we encourage able guests to carpool from there to the Ballroom and back, if necessary.
Are guests permitted to smoke at the Ballroom?
Smoking is strictly prohibited inside the ballroom. We do ask guests who smoke to please walk out into the parking lot and away from all entrances to smoke. We also kindly ask that cigarette butts be discarded properly and not left in the parking lot or in the landscaping.
Can we provide our own alcohol for events?
No, clients and guests may not provide their own alcohol. Alcohol is exclusively provided by Gap View Events, LLC and served by our in-house, RAMP trained bartenders. Alcohol may not be consumed on the premises that wasn't served from behind our bar, by our bartenders. This is for the safety of our guests, our employees, and our property. No one under the age of 21 may consume alcohol on the premises. We reserve the right to remove any guests who are not abiding by these house rules.
Can we provide our own food for events?
Yes, you can, but you may not prepare food in our kitchen. We are not responsible for the safety of food not prepared by a licensed food provider.
Can I review the contract before I sign it?
100% yes! We want you to feel comfortable with your decision to host your special event with us at the Ballroom! The reason for a lengthy contract and all the house rules is to protect your investment, our investment, and all our future clients' investments in our Venue.
Is the Ballroom climate controlled?
For sure! We are 100% climate controlled in all seasons at North Spring Ballroom.
Is the Wi-Fi included?
Yep! It sure is. Our Wi-Fi is provided by Crowsnest Broadband. There are also several places in the Ballroom where you or your vendors can be hard-wired directly to the internet.
