How far in advance do I need to inquire about an event at the JCC?
Inquiries can be made at any time. We politely request that we have at least one month of lead time to prepare for events that host up to 100 people. For larger-scale events of 100 people or more, a longer lead time is requested.
Can I place a hold on a date?
A hold may be placed at almost any time on an available rental space for a maximum of two weeks. Holds are valid unless another party inquires about the space, in which case you will get the first right of refusal.
How do I set up a site visit for my event?
To ensure a seamless event experience, site visits for large-scale events in Mintz Auditorium are required. Site visits are highly recommended for all other rental spaces. Once you’ve submitted an event request form, our Event and Rentals Manager will reach out to you for next steps.
What is the cost of hosting my event?
Event costs vary depending upon multiple factors including timing, guest count, required labor and more. Most event inquiries can receive a personalized quote within 72 hours based on supplied details and scope of the event. Larger events may require more time for a site visit and production consultations. Modifications to an event scope may result in a quote being updated and reissued.
If a client would like to move forward with their event, a refundable security deposit is due upon signing of the agreement. Payment terms may vary but typically, half of the quote amount is due upon signing. The remainder must be paid prior to the event.
What is included in the venue rental cost?
The venue rental fee includes the hourly use of the event space(s) outlined in your agreement. Also included are:
How early can I arrive to set up for my event?
Access to the event space is typically provided one hour before your event. The hour prior to the event is complimentary, however earlier access may be charged at an hourly rate pending availability. For security purposes, if an event is held over the weekend or after hours, a receptionist must be present to let clients in and out of the front doors.
