Frequently Asked Questions
1
Event Design and Rental Furniture?
This is a DIY space with no restrictions on catering food or drink or alcohol! We do not provide event design but we do offer add-on services which can be added to the rental package. The renter is responsible for designing and setting up their own event as well as tearing down unless you order pre-event and post-event table and chair service. Otherwise we provide venue rentals tables & chairs for renters to setup and put away at the end of the rental. We do not provide table covers (the dry cleaning bills were crazy!). There are several rental companies and stores that can provide table covers.
Table Count Below which accompanies our 150 Black Padded Chairs.
10 Rounds | 6 Rectangular | 4 Cocktail | 3 Short Squares | 2 Long Catering Tables
NO Glitter, Rice, Confetti (due to extensive cleaning & turnover time)

Is there parking at the Olympia Ballroom Downtown?
Plenty of Street Parking! The Ballroom like all other performance venues downtown does NOT have a private parking lot. The City of Olympia provides a map of paid lots that are within blocks for the Ballroom. Visit the Governor Hotel adjacent from Ballroom block for covered, secure parking for a daily fee (reasonable).

Is there on-site staff for me to come in and tour?
No, you will need to pre-arrange a tour along with your reservation inquiry. There is no on-site management unless you've paid for an hourly attendant. The renter per our agreement is renting the space for a set event time and is solely responsible for its care and its management during that contracted time period.
5
What is your Refund Policy w/ down or full payments?
Down payments or Full invoice payments will get 100% FULL REFUNDS if refund request is made within 5 business days of initial transaction payment date.
50% will be refunded if request is made more than 60 days away from the event date.
No refunds if refund request within 60 days of the event date.
Most events are scheduled, planned and paid for on average 150 or more days away from event dates and as a sole event venue provider we cannot sustain a business with people backing out within those windows.
Refunds will be by mailed check if it meets these constraints.
