Birthday Party FAQs
Birthday Party Policies:
Booking: Birthday parties must be booked at least two (2) weeks in advance of your desired party date. Payment in full is required to reserve your date and time. Your date does not go on our Birthday Party Calendar until we receive payment. Payment in the form of cash, Discover, Visa, MasterCard or American Express is accepted.
Cancellations: If the host provides Owl's Hill written notice of cancellation more than 10 business days prior to the event (to birthdays@owlshill.org), the fee paid, minus $50, shall be refunded. If the host cancels within five business days of the event, a fee of $50 plus 20 percent administrative fee will be charged. Rescheduling at the host’s request within five business days of the event is considered a cancellation and will incur the same fee. Refunds will not be given for weather-related cancellations.
Decorations: Host may setup and decorate tables 20 minutes prior to the party start time. Your birthday party package includes the private use of our beautiful covered pavilion, use of two (2) six-foot tables for food and drink (see below) and/or gifts, plus use of four (4) additional six-foot picnic tables with bench seating for your guests. Decorations may not be taped, stapled or applied to pavilion structure. Confetti, pinatas, silly string and helium balloons are prohibited. A word about balloons...at best they become litter; at worst, they jeopardize wildlife and the environment. In lieu of balloons consider bubbles, dancer streamers, or pinwheels. For more environment friendly ideas see http://balloonsblow.org/environmentally-friendly-alternatives.
Food & Drink: Hosts are welcome to bring outside food and non-alcoholic drinks. All food and drink must stay in the pavilion. Bring an ice chest or cooler; no refrigeration or freezer is available.
Cleanup: Cleanup must be completed within the 2-hour party time. We cannot accommodate time extensions. Owl's Hill is a "carry in/carry out" facility. Please plan to leave the pavilion as you found it. Kindly take all trash with you leave. We will provide trash receptacles and do all the cleanup for an additional $40.
