Booking hours can be anytime from 9am-11pm and first come, first serve. Extended hours can be considered on a case-by-case basis. Multiple events can be booked each day, however, there will be at least two hours in between each event to allow for cleaning and resetting the space. 

Your rental fee includes everything for the event space itself. The modern and clean 2,400 square foot event space is equipped with 10 tables, 100 chairs, 5 high top tables and multiple lounge areas. Three bathrooms, an elegant dressing room, modern décor and lighting help The Anchor stand out from a basic event space. 

In addition to the venue cost, you will be required to pay a security deposit of $250. This fee will be returned to you if there is no damage to the Social Hall. If the post-event inspection of the Facilities by The Anchor Management determines there is damage in excess of the fee, the user will be responsible for the cost.

Payments may be made through our website via credit card. Payment in full (security deposit + rental fee) is due upon booking.
