Your Top Element Event Space Questions — Answered!

Planning an event comes with a lot of moving parts, and we know that sometimes, the first step is figuring out if the venue is the right fit. At Element, we get a handful of questions all the time, so we decided to put them together in one place to make your planning process easier.


Whether you’re organizing a wedding reception, a baby shower, a corporate gathering, or something completely unique, here are the answers to our most frequently asked questions.


1. How many people can Element hold?

Our space can accommodate up to 99 guests — that’s our maximum capacity according to fire code. We can comfortably seat 50. Smaller seating areas around the space can accommodate up to 20 more seats. This makes Element ideal for intimate celebrations, workshops, and private parties where every guest counts.


2. How do I check availability?

After choosing your package level on the Bookings page, a calendar will appear with available dates and times. Your date and time will only be reserved once you fully check out! Prime dates go fast, so book accordingly!


3. When can I decorate or set up?

Your booked time is your total time in the space. This covers setup, the event itself, and cleanup. For example, if you book a 4-hour time slot, that full window is allocated for decorating, hosting your event, and packing up afterward.


To help you make the most of your time, we ask about your preferred seating arrangements in advance (both during the booking process and in our booking form), so those are typically set up prior to your arrival.


4. What’s your cancellation policy?

We keep things straightforward: Cancel at least 60 days before your event for a full refund. This gives you peace of mind if your plans change, while also allowing us time to rebook the date for someone else.


5. Can I bring my own food and drinks?

Yes! We love that our clients can make their events truly personal. You’re welcome to bring your own food, hire a caterer, or work with one of our preferred vendors.


6. How do I access the venue for my event?

Upon arrival, we will meet you either before or right at the start of your event to hand off a key. When your event wraps up, you’ll simply drop the key into a secure lockbox provided by Element. Easy, smooth, and stress-free.


6. What’s the difference between booking levels?

The main difference between our booking levels is the amount of time you have in the space. All levels include access to the same amenities, from tables and chairs to our kitchen space, so you can choose the timeframe that best fits your event.
