FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do you have a kitchen or prep area for us to use?
We do not have a dedicated kitchen or prep area, any last minute prepping will need to be done inside the venue, or outside at the grill station during the setup time.
Is there any way to cook at the Lightbox Events Center?
We have a covered large bbq grill station located outside next to our patio. All you have to do is supply your own charcoal.
Can we set up the day/ night before our event?
Sometimes, it depends if there is an event booked at that time, but it is not guaranteed. For more elaborate decorations we recommend renting the venue for the whole day, as it will give you or your decorator plenty of time to do their magic.
