Frequently Asked Questions
This can vary from location to location, but many public historic sites meet the accessibility standards of the ADA. In some cases, there may be temporary accommodations, such as ramps, added to meet the needs of your party. Please be sure to confirm accessibility accommodations when discussing potential venues with your Unique Venues Team.
While most event venues allow alcohol, this is something to confirm with the venue and your Unique Venues team before booking.
As each location is privately owned, this will vary from venue to venue. Some venues, in particular wedding halls, offer catering packages that you may or may not be required to purchase upon booking the venue. Others are full DIY, allowing you to have complete control over food, furniture, and every detail of the event.
