Can we use our own vendors?

Yes. We have an open vendor policy. If you need guidance, we provide a list of trusted partners who know the space and our standards.


Do you offer rentals and decor through Carried Away Rentals?

Yes. Place settings, furniture, and decor are available to rent through Carried Away Rentals at a discounted on-site rate for events at The Ingress. Linens and specialty items can also be added for an additional rental cost. While clients are not required to use Carried Away Rentals, many choose to because everything they rent is set in place before their arrival, saving valuable setup time and allowing their event to begin seamlessly.


How does pricing and event timing work?

Weekday bookings require a four-hour minimum and are ideal for smaller events, styled shoots, or corporate gatherings. Weddings are full-day rentals to allow time for setup, celebration, and cleanup. Other event types, such as rehearsal dinners, baby showers, and social events, include specific time blocks based on their format, ensuring every group has the right amount of time to enjoy the space comfortably.


What is the booking process to rent your event space?

Submit an inquiry on our request form with your preferred date and event type. We confirm availability, provide a proposal, and secure the date with a signed agreement and deposit. Site tours are available, including Hard Hat Tours during construction.


Is the venue accessible and what is parking like?

Yes. The property is single level with accessible restrooms and entries. We offer ten private parking spaces and free street parking along Pershing Road.


What is included in event space setup?

Our team places all included tables and chairs according to your approved layout and sets any rented linens from us prior to vendor arrival. Other vendor-provided items are set by the vendor team unless otherwise arranged.


What is your alcohol and catering policy?

You are welcome to bring your preferred caterer and bar service to your event. We allow beer and wine service without needing a liquor permit if the alcohol is served at no charge, guests are over 21, and you have our venue’s permission. 

If liquor (spirits or cocktails) will be served, our clients must obtain a Limited Special Occasion Permit from the ABC Commission, or partner with a licensed bartender/vendor who carries the necessary permit. 

Your caterer or bar team must be licensed, insured, and responsible for all items associated with service and cleanup. The venue provides a dedicated catering staging area with a separate entrance for efficient delivery and service.


What happens if weather shifts for outdoor plans?

The interior floor plan is designed to serve as a comfortable rain plan. Your layout can be adjusted to move the ceremony or cocktail hour inside while maintaining a smooth flow.



What does the Venue Host do during events?

The Venue Host is on site during every event to ensure the building and amenities are functioning as expected. They handle venue access, lighting, restocking of restroom supplies, and coordination of any issues related to the space itself.

The Venue Host is not a replacement for a day-of coordinator, planner, or event staff. They are not responsible for managing vendors, serving food or drinks, flipping spaces between ceremony and reception, or providing security. Clients should plan to have their own coordinator or designated event team to manage timelines, service, and setup beyond what the venue provides.
