Is The Reliquary a full-service venue?

No. The Reliquary provides the space, furnishings, staff, and bar service, but setup, decoration, event planning, vendor coordination, and cleanup are the client's responsibility. Alcohol service is the one exception, staff manages that entirely.

Can we bring our own caterer?

Yes, clients are free to choose any licensed catering vendor. If the caterer doesn't handle their own cleanup, that responsibility falls to the client or their guests.

Can we bring our own alcohol?

No. All alcohol must be provided through The Reliquary's beverage packages. No outside alcohol is permitted on the premises, per Ohio law.

Yes. Onsite parking is available for select vehicles, with plentiful street parking nearby, plus a 90-vehicle lot north of the brewery off Turrill St, available outside normal weekday business hours.

When can vendors and decorators access the space?

Vendor and decoration access begins at 9am the day of the event. Decorations must be removed that same evening unless a pickup time is arranged in advance.

What decorations are and aren't allowed?

Confetti, glitter, rice, birdseed, fog machines, and pyrotechnics are not permitted. Candles are allowed if contained in proper globes, cylinders, or floating vessels. Only gaffer tape may be used on the floor.

Is the venue wheelchair accessible?

The Reliquary occupies a historic 1876 church building. The upstairs event space is not currently wheelchair accessible. The lower-level taproom and restrooms are fully accessible, and reasonable accommodation requests are honored as they arise.

Will the taproom be open during our event?

Yes, Urban Artifact's taproom operates as usual during events, and guests are welcome to visit for additional drinks from the cash bar. Because the building is shared, speeches and formal moments are best wrapped up by 9pm.

Smoking is not permitted inside the building. Designated containers are available outside in the courtyard, and smokers should remain at least 20 feet from any entry or exit door.

Yes, free wireless internet is available throughout the space.

Is gratuity included in the price?

No. Gratuity for bar staff, DJ, event coordinator, and event staff is not included in the package price. Tips are welcome and can be added to the final payment.

Who handles cleanup after the event?

Clients (or their caterer/vendors) are responsible for cleanup, including removing decorations and disposing of trash properly. Cleanup should be completed by midnight the day of the event unless otherwise arranged.
