ABOUT THE PROPERTY
How many guests can I have?
Our maximum occupancy for the property is 100 people.
Can I have tables and chairs delivered?
You may, but it is not necessary. Each rental at The Main Event includes solid wood tables on black metal legs and boutique black metal chairs with deep green leather cushions, finished with rattan backing. If you choose not to use these, tables and chairs must be provided by a professional rental company. There is no storage space for holding items.
Can I bring my own decor?
Yes you may, but it must be approved as to not damage our space with installation.
Do you have a stage/ arbor?
Currently everything but tables and chairs must be rented by a professional rental company. We do not provide outdoor furniture.
Do you have a sound system for me to use?
We have a Bluetooth soundbar set up in our Ballroom that is complimentary for guests to use, but all other audio preparations will need to be brought in by the client.
Do you have a TV or projector?
Yes, we have a 55” 4K Roku TV complimentary for clients to use in displaying company logos, greeting messages, videos, and more.
Do you have a kitchen, what is included?
Yes, for light prep only. Our kitchen amenities include a fridge, ice maker, and sink. We have limited preparation utensils so clients must bring whatever is needed for preparing their food.
Do you have parking?
There is parking available directly in front of the event house on Main Street, with parking extending along downtown side streets nearby as well.
VENDORS
Can I bring my own alcohol? (and serve it myself?)
We do not allow cash bars. A client planning to serve alcohol of any kind at our event house must hire a vendor that has a current alcohol catering permit issued by Payette City. Your vendor must provide the liquor, wine, beer, mixers, ice, garnish, beverage napkins, straws, picks and any and all other items needed to serve. These items must be dropped off at the venue on the day of your event. Ice should be delivered to the venue at your vendor arrival time, not sooner.
Can I bring my own caterer/ photographer/ DJ?
Yes. We pride ourselves in being an open-vendor venue for your convenience! We just require food/bar licenses as outlined.
Can I bring my own food?
All food must be brought in from an outside source/caterer with a valid Idaho Food Handlers License. The kitchen is meant for light prep only.
Do you provide linens?
Linens are available to rent. Ask us for more details. Due to the stunning elements of our tables, many guests opt to forgo full linens, instead accenting the tables with a stylish table runner.
