[OPLINLIST] Library as Wedding Venue

[Colleen Sandusky]

The Loudonville Public Library does allow personal events, weddings and wedding receptions. At this time we do not charge any fees. As budget cuts have trimmed our hours and our staff I find that it has become more and more difficult to accommodate those who would like to use the library for large events. In a past life, I was a corporate event planner on the west coast, so I have experience with these types of functions. Before you decide if this is something you want to take on please consider your staffing and parking situation. If you are fortunate to have enough staff to manage the overhead of such events then great. Even with very clear boundaries of what can and can't be done I find that those having emotional events, such as weddings, can be demanding and downright rude. 

Best of luck to you,

Subject: [OPLINLIST] Library as Wedding Venue

Hello all! 
Isn't life exciting? We have a beautiful Carnegie library and I just had a request from a bride-to-be asking if the library can be her venue for her fall 2015 wedding. I have to talk with my board and have asked her basic questions such as time, date, number of people, lighting (no candles), reception needs, etc. I would like to know if anyone offers their library as a wedding venue and if so, if you can send me your contract and/or list of conditions (such as cleaning deposit, fees, insurance, etc.) 
Thanks in advance! 
Susan
