FAQ

  • Do you have a parking lot?

    Yes! We have a very large parking lot and have hosted many gatherings with hundreds of guests.

  • Do you have someone who can assist with planning my event?

    Yes! The Westchester is not just your next venue, but a team who can help you find what you need for your event to come to life.

  • How many people can your space accomodate?

    Our Ballroom can be used for standing room with up to 550 people. For dining, dancing, DJ, and caterers, we can accommodate up to 375 people. Our Basement Lounge can host 175 for standing room only, 125 with tables for eating, and 100 to eat as well as dance.

  • What about Set-up?

    All room rentals allow for clients to enter the building at 8am the day of the event. Additional hours the evening before the event can be purchased at $150 per hour, 2-hour minimum, between the hours of 4pm-9pm.

  • What about Clean-up?

    Clients and vendors are expected to remove personal items and supplies within 1-2 hours after the event. We do not expect our clients to clean or collect waste. Our cleaning staff will do the rest. Additional time can be purchased as per the individual contract details.

  • Do you have a Kitchen and Bar?

    We have a kitchen for cold storage, ice, preparing dishes, and serving. However, we do not have a facility for cooking. We do have a bar and bartenders, but all alcohol to be served must be purchased by the client before the event. Ask about our Bar Package to learn more. We make preparation easy for events serving alcohol.

  • Do I need to make a deposit?

    Yes. Clients are expected to make a $750 deposit upon signing a contract to book the date. The deposit goes toward the grand total of the rental. It is not extra.

  • Do you require the purchase of a liability insurance policy?

    Yes, and we are happy to guide you through this process. The average cost of a policy is around $250, and policies protect clients from being financially responsible if accidents arise. This cost is not included in room rental fees.

  • Do you have financing options?

    Unfortunately, no. Clients are expected to make payment in full 30 days before the event. For events scheduled with less than 30 days before the event, payment will be expected upon the signing of the contract. We accept cash, credit cards, money orders, personal checks, and cashiers checks.

  • Do you negotiate?

    We understand that every event is unique and may require more or less than we can cover in our posted Price List or FAQ page on our website. If you are part of our community and you need to find a room to bring people together, then we are happy to meet you in person to discuss your options at The Westchester. We want to support our neighbors and their endeavors. We are real people, managing a physical space, who welcome the chance to sit down in real life and talk about what you might really need from our team, time, and space.
