These forms discuss our rules and policies that you, your guests and vendors must abide by throughout the scheduled event. By signing these forms, you agree to take full responsibility of not only yourself but the behaviors, actions, etc. of your guests, vendors and any other party attending your event. If any of the rules or policies discussed in these forms are broken or abused, this will result in deductions from the damage deposit and possible notification of law enforcement if unruly or dangerous behaviors and or actions are exhibited. White Chapel Farm and Venue reserve the right to shut down any event at any time if inappropriate, illegal or dangerous issues arise.

You will be provided a detailed explanation and written copy of our rules and policies when you have secured your event rental. White Chapel Farm and Venue is NOT responsible for informing your guests, vendors, etc. of these rules and policies. 

We will make attempts with signs posting our rules and policies but, ultimately it is the sole responsibility of the renter to be sure that others are aware of them. Misinformed or uninformed guests, vendors, etc. that abuse or break any of the rules and or policies will result in deductions from the damage deposit and the amount will be determined at the discrepancy of White Chapel Farm and Venue management. 

We never intend to keep any of the damage deposits. In fact, it is our goal to return them in full following any event! 

These are a few examples of issues that have resulted in deductions or non-refund of the damage deposit:

• Unruly, threatening and non-compliant behaviors (EX: DJ asked repeatedly to turn the music down and wouldn't, vendors urinating in the parking lot around guests, guests bringing in their choice of "drink" because what was being served wasn't enough or what they liked, guests unhappy that the bar time had expired and threats were made....etc.) We don't take threats lightly, law enforcement will be notified immediately. 
• Outside sources of alcohol. This means, ANY source of alcohol brought onto the property by guests, vendors, etc. The ONLY source of alcohol (type) and the amount that is allowed will be what has been discussed and agreed upon with White Chapel Farm management. ABSOLUTELY NO STRAIGHT LIQUOR OR SHOTS! (EX: Groomsmen sneaking and consuming liquor in the grooms room, bathrooms and vehicles, refusal to remove the source from the property, bridal party sneaking liquor into the chapel, sending people to to buy more alcohol - what was originally agreed upon with management and brought into the bar will be all that will be allowed once it runs out, its OUT that's it!)
• Intentional damage to venue property (EX: kids and adults playing and walking in the flower beds resulting in broken landscaping, parking vehicles in flower beds and not parking in designated areas, hitting the patio lighting with hands or other objects, broken toilet seat, food and drink intentionally poured onto Linens resulting in inability to salvage them, ripped Linens, glass bottles, cans etc. stuck in flower pots, smashed cans in the parking lot, broken or bent furniture.... etc.)
• Items taken from the venue, chapel or surrounding property (EX: cutting board, knives and towels belonging to White Chapel Farm taken and not returned, games taken and not returned) We will give the renter the option to attempt to contact their guests, vendors, etc that may have taken the item(s) and give the opportunity for a return but if that is not an option, deductions will be made. 
• Parents allowing children to run about unsupervised. Unfortunately, majority of the damages have come from unsupervised children. Children are not allowed to "hang out" in the chapel or in the grooms room. They are not allowed to walk the wall on the patio, play in fountains or play on the staircase inside. If there are children (no matter what age) they must be supervised at all times. If you plan to drink and "party", leave your children at home or be sure you have someone available to care for them in your place. We provide a nice playground for that excess energy, please use it!
• Underage drinking and drug use (any age!) This will result in law enforcement being notified immediately! No questions asked! 
• Exceeding the maximum capacity for the venue. This is discussed  with and is ultimately the responsibility of the renter! (EX: no effort made to be sure that only the "invited" guests were the only ones in attendance at the event, no effort made to inform management of an "open invitation" sent out during an event resulting in an excessive amount of people exceeding the maximum capacity agreed upon, no effort made to stop the flow of people coming into the event, etc.) A "OPEN INVITATION" event is NOT allowed at any time for any event !!!!!! We are a commercial venue and we have a set capacity that has been assigned to us that we must maintain. 
• Excessive trash and uncleanliness. (EX: spills of any size and food dropped and left in the floor and simply ignored allowing people to walk through them tracking it throughout the property, soiled toilet tissue, hygiene products thrown in the floors of the bathrooms, gum spit onto the floor, stuck under tables and stairs, using the bathroom in the parking lot and in the yard of the property, excessive amounts of trash, bottles, cans etc. left thrown around the entire property, etc....) There is absolutely no excuse for this! We provide plenty of trash receptacles, mops, brooms and cleaning supplies. We typically do not charge extra cleaning fees however, when the amount of trash and areas are left in such unbelievable messes, we will deduct for this. We work very hard to maintain a clean and suitable environment and we only ask that you please respect the property and return it the way you found it. 

These are just a few things that have actually occurred during events and we certainly will not tolerate it. We never intend on keeping anyone's damage deposit but, if the rules and policies that we have in place are not respected and maintained it will result in deductions from the deposit. If the damages are significant enough, we will file a claim with the insurance.

We (my husband and I - are the only staff that works here!) and we work really hard to maintain a clean, beautiful and safe environment for events. Negligence to respect and maintain the property not only makes you, your guests, etc. look bad, it hurts others. We book events far in advance so the damage left behind due to disrespect will reflect on others opportunity to have a nice event. We only ask that our property be respected, maintained and left the way you found it.
