FAQ

  • Yes. The food minimum at the quonset hut is $50 per guest.

  • No. Congaree and Penn requires the use of our own food & beverage program. We only allow exceptions for add on liquor service (available only to clients who have opted for beer, wine & cider service).

  • All rentals must be delivered, set up, torn down, and removed within the contracted timeframe on the day of the event. Congaree and Penn is not responsible for coordinating delivery, receipt, and / or setup or teardown of rentals.

  • Decorate as you please! We do not allow anything to be applied to our walls or trees that will cause damage. If you choose to use candles, we require that they be contained to prevent damage to our surfaces. Confetti, glitter, and loose balloons are not permitted. All decorations must be removed without leaving damages.

  • Because we are the venue, we focus exclusively on making sure the space, food, and beverages are prepared for your event. We do not provide coordination before or during the event. Therefore, we highly encourage clients to hire a professional event coordinator noted on our Vendors We Love list. You are also welcome to appoint an event host who acts as the coordinator.

  • Because we are an open air outdoor venue, Congaree and Penn does not permit subwoofers or amplified music that exceeds 75 decibels. While we always recommend acoustic bands, low amplification that does not exceed 75 decibels is permitted. Music via Spotify or Amazon playlists may also be played through our house Sonos music system. Only approved musicians are permitted.

  • We do not. You are welcome to provide your own!

  • To secure a date, please email hello@congareeandpenn.com for assistance. A signed booking agreement and a nonrefundable deposit are due immediately to reserve the date of your event.

    The deposit is $5,000 for events occurring on Friday, Saturday or Sunday, and the deposit is $2,500 for events occurring on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday.

    Remaining fees are due at least 14 days before the event date. Payment may be made via ACH bank transfer or credit card. Credit card payments will incur a three percent surcharge.
