Do you setup tables/chairs or do we?
During your pre planning meeting (usually 30 days before your event) we draw up a floor plan based on your guest count, vendors, etc. Based on that we will set up the room with the tables, chairs and table cloths and you can come in and decorate before your event.
Do you have a security deposit?
Yes, our security deposit is $500 ($100/hour for hourly events) which is fully refundable as long as nothing is broken or ruined*.
*See our agreement for full terms and conditions of security deposit refund.
What does a DIY Venue mean?
As a venue, we will set up your tables, chairs and tablecloths and then you come decorate the rest. During the night of your event, we will have someone here to help out as needed and act as a host but you and your family are primary responsible for refilling drinks, food etc. We can also help coordinate a reset and help out with it but in order for them to be timely we do require some assistance. If you are interested in bringing on extra help, we do have options for that.
Are we responsible for cleanup?
You are just responsible for any decor, food and whatever else you may bring in. We take care of the linens, floors and cleanup of the venue’s decor that you may have borrowed.
How do we book?
A booking appointment can be set by contacting our main office at 801-441-2211 or emailing us at [email protected]
50% of the venue cost is due at time of booking also a $500 security deposit. (See Security Deposit FAQ for more info or other variables.
Already Booked FAQ’s
Is there someone on site on the day of my event?
Yes, you will have a host/hostess the day of your event who will be there from unlocking the venue all the way to till the last family member leaves. We will help in emptying trash cans throughout the evening and also help with general spills or messes. See the DIY FAQ question for more of what they will do.
How do you take payments?
We currently accept cash and check with no additional fees.
In order to keep our rental fees low, we also take additional forms of payment with a small fee. We take Venmo (@MadisonVenue) with a 2% fee and Credit Cards with a 4% fee.
We do take personal checks although cashier’s check or money order is preferred. We have a returned check fee of $50 plus will require a different form of payment other than a personal check.
When can we decorate?
Ideally we can get you in the day before or even a couple of days before but it depends if we have another event booked the day before your event. We will figure out the best time at the 30 day pre planning meeting.
Can I bring my decorator/mom/DJ/etc. by to see the venue?
We would love for them to see the venue! The best way to do this is to make an appointment as we aren’t always at the venue. Call us at 801-441-2211 or email us at [email protected] to set up an appointment!
What if 30 days before doesn't work for me for a meeting?
No worries! Just shoot us a call or email us and we can figure out a better time to meet up.
How much time do we get to clean up?
We give an additional one hour time frame for cleanup after your reception is over. As a reminder, you just take care of any decor or food you may have brought in. We take care of our decor, tables, chairs and cleaning/sweeping/vacuuming etc.

Can we use the lobby/outside stairs for pictures?
Yes for sure! We love pictures from all around the building, please share them with us too!
