Is setup / tear down time included in my reservation window?

Yes. For example, if your reservation is 9am - 3pm, you gain access to the venue at 9am and it is at that time you can begin setting up for your event. By 3pm you need to be locking the door behind you. Our cleaning team comes after the events to prepare it for the next guest.

Can I tour the venue before booking?

Yes, absolutely! You can book a tour right from the website. Under the “book now” page. Due to the fact that most of our events occur on the weekends, we are limited to scheduling visits during our business hours. You can view a virtual tour here!

Can I get access early to set up for my event?

I wish we could do that! But, no. There is too much overhead and coordination on our part to do this. But since we are a solutions-oriented group, if you have an event scheduled for Saturday morning, you can book hours on Friday night to give you time to come in and set up beforehand.

What is the event insurance, where do I get it, and why do I need it?

We have decided to require event insurance with liquor liability if you are planning on serving any type of alcohol (liquor, beer, wine, champagne, etc.) yourself at your event for a couple of reasons. It is important to us that your guests are conscious and responsible with their alcohol intake. Above all, we want you to be safe while still having a great time. We have suggested event insurance companies listed on our rental agreement that you are welcome to use. Event insurance is usually around $120, depending on the number of guests that will attend your event.

Do I need the event insurance if I am hiring a bartender?

If you are hiring a licensed bartender/ bartending service to serve the alcohol at your event, you do not need to purchase the event insurance. But, you must hire a licensed bartender/ bartending service that has liquor liability insurance to do so. We are partnered with Cheers 904 for your bartending needs.

You will still need to purchase the event insurance if your hired bartender/ bartending service is not licensed and/or does not have liquor liability insurance.

Do you charge extra for bringing in alcohol?

Nope!

Is confetti or gender reveal powders allowed?
Absolutely not. The cleaning required to pick up confetti and wipe down walls is incredibly time consuming and challenging for our teams to clean in between events. There will be an additional fee of $200 if there are reports of these items being used.

Can I bring in any catering I want or do I have to pick from your list of caterers?

Yes! You can bring in whatever kind of catering you would like! We are working on putting together a suggested catering list for guests who need some assistance, but you do not need to pick off of this list if you do not want.

Can I just cook and bring in my own food?

Yes, you can definitely do this too if you want to save some money. But, we don’t suggest cooking in our kitchen as we only have an oven. Cook at home and bring it with you! We have a large fridge and two big ovens to keep things cool and hot as needed.

Where do we park and will there be enough parking for my event?

We have a small parking lot located next to our venue that can fit around 5-7 cars comfortably. Other than that, the street parking is free, and there are two large public parking lots within two blocks of The Fig Room that are also free. We have a parking map on our website for you to check out!

How do I secure my date?

Once your deposit is in (which is 50% of your rental fee) your date will be secured. There are more details on your deposit and how to pay it on our rental agreement.

What type of décor is available for us to use?

We have a room full of essential décor pieces that you can use for free! We have included it in your rental fee. We have white and black round table linens, neutral and colorful table runners, chair bands, candle sticks, candles, vases, fake flowers, and so much more!

What does the tableware fee include?

If you would like to use our tableware, it is going to be an additional fee of $150. Anything that needs to be deep cleaned in between events would fall under this category ( So pretty much anything found in our kitchen). If you would like to use any of our decorative platters during your event (items found in the buffet room), you are welcome to for no additional cost! Just please make sure you thoroughly wash everything you use.

Do you offer any event planning/ event set up and break down assistance?

At this time, we only offer a full venue breakdown assistance. You can add this directly when booking your reservation online with us! If you are looking for assistance for set up, please email us for our vendor suggestions! events@palmsandfigs.com

Is The Fig Room pet friendly?

Unfortunately, right now do not allow furry friends in the building (Unless they are service animals, then of course they are allowed in!).

Will I be able to get in contact with anyone during my event?

Yes of course! There will be a phone number attached to the email you receive for your door code the day of your event. Please contact (904) 310-0872 for any questions you have during your event.
