Winery FAQ's
How do I know if a date is available?
Please submit a request form through our website or please call (612) 940-9463.
When can we tour the space?
Tours are available by appointment only. We’d love to meet you and show you everything our unique space offers! Please contact us to schedule a tour.
How do I reserve the space for an event & when is the final payment?
To reserve your date and space, a non-refundable deposit and signed contract is required for all events. The deposit is 50% of the venue rental fee. The final payment will be due 90 days before your event.
How many guests can you accommodate?
Warehouse Winery can accommodate 150 guests for a sit-down dinner, 200 for a cocktail-style event, and 50 for the front lounge.
What are the venue access times for clients and vendors?
Venue access time for the client and all vendors is 1 pm on event day. Your access time will be adjusted to your timeframe of rental if the event is earlier in the day. If you’d like additional access to the space for setup earlier in the day, we charge a $250 per hour fee.
Do you have any requirements for vendors that work in your facility? Do you have a preferred vendor list?
We require that all vendors working in Warehouse Winery during an event provide us with a copy of their liability insurance. We do have a preferred vendor list here.
What are my décor options?
Nothing may be affixed to any permanent structure within the building unless it’s approved by the Venue Manager and done by a licensed vendor. No silly string, glitter, or confetti is allowed. Warehouse Winery will work to accommodate reasonable client requests.
Do you have parking?
Yes! We have reserved parking after 5 pm located on the East side of the Warehouse Winery along with street parking on Cambridge Street. For a detailed parking map please see our Parking Restrictions map provided by the Venue Manager.
Are there hotels nearby?
Yes, there are several hotel options nearby. Please refer to our preferred vendor list for contact information and those that provide shuttle services as well.
Do you have an outdoor space?
There is an outdoor patio space we can set up for you. This is an additional $200 patio fee. This includes high tops, outdoor patio furniture set up outside, and lights.
What are the minimums? Can we choose our own caterer? Who provides the bar service?
For the full event space, there is a $750 food & beverage minimum. For the front lounge only, there is a $500 food & beverage minimum. If you opt for an outside caterer there will be a $1,500 fee. The outside catering fee is in addition to the food & beverage minimum. If an outside caterer is selected, Sterling Catering will be the bar provider.
Can we have our ceremony at Warehouse Winery?
Yes! Ceremonies take place in the same area where most clients also hold the dinner and dance. We will transform the ceremony space into a reception as your guests are mingling in the bar/cocktail area. Our ceremony fee is $300 which covers the initial set-up of the ceremony, tear down/transition of furniture to prepare for the reception, a rehearsal, and access to our wedding suite.
How does cleanup work?
All setup, tear down, and cleaning of the venue is taken care of by the caterers and Venue Manager. Clients are responsible for everything they bring in such as linens, decorations, centerpieces, gifts, etc. Everything has to be removed by 1 am the night of the event or an hour after the end time of the event.
What is the cancellation policy?
All cancellations are required in writing, dated, and signed by both parties involved in the original contract as well as the customer and the catering company. Any deposits/payments applied are non-refundable. A cancellation form will be provided upon request. No cancellations will be accepted 15 business days before the event date as we reserve the right to charge up to 100% of the estimated food and beverage cost.
Who is my main contact and how much will they be available during my planning? Will they be there to oversee things during my event?
Our Venue Manager is there every step of the way! You’re welcome to call or email them throughout your planning process. They will hold a finalization meeting to coordinate details with you and your third-party vendors. Our Venue Manager is on-site the day of the event starting when vendor/ client access begins. Venue Manager coverage is determined by Warehouse Winery based on the event schedule and specific event details.
