The above pricing is for the rental of the hall with tables and chairs only. Bayshore Gardens Park and Recreation District does not provide any food, drinks, decorations, music, etc. There is a kitchen that can be used for heating and warming purposes only along with a commercial refrigerator and ice maker that can be utilized.
We also require the contract holder to obtain liability insurance for the day of the event. This is a separate cost and not purchased through us. From what I have been told by other renters the liability insurance can run anywhere from $65 to $200. The price may vary depending on the type of event, how many people will be attending, whether you are planning on having alcohol, etc. We will provide you with more information upon signing a contract with us.
If you have any questions or need to verify if a specific date is available to reserve, please contact the District Office; Tuesday - Friday from 8am to 6pm at 941-755-1912 or click on “Event Calendar“ on the upper right side of this page. When looking at the calendar if it says "Hall - Private Party" it means the hall is already reserved for that day.
You may come in and view the hall during office hours, we also have pictures posted of different event set ups on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.373342024217564&type=3
A date may be reserved upon receipt of your security deposit and signed contract.
