Catering and Bar Services
It is recommended that catering is provided by a Key West caterer. This ensures that all Key West laws and policies are followed. No alcohol shall be served or given to any person except by a licensed, insured vendor. If alcohol is being served, the vendor must supply us with the appropriate licenses, permits and insurance 30 days prior to the event.
Insurance Certificate
Customer shall maintain the following minimum insurance coverage: $5,000 per person and non-liability medical payment; liability coverage of $25,000 per person per incident with a minimum aggregate liability of $1,000,000.
Facility Rental Times and Details
The Gardens at West Martello is a public space and open to visitors from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Events can certainly be held during those hours, but areas cannot be cordoned off for your use. After the gates close at 5:00, the gardens are yours! Rehearsals can be held at the gardens during regular business hours and must be scheduled.
Customer is responsible for compliance with local laws and ordinances relating to sound control and may not create unreasonably excessive noise, given the facility’s proximity to residential areas. No amplified sound is permitted after 11:00 p.m. Customer will cooperate with KWGC to resolve any noise complaint, and will reduce the volume of amplified sound if requested by KWGC’s representative.
Decorations and Usage
We ask that no glitter/confetti use or stapling to trees/structures occurs. We want to keep our facility looking clean and our birds and other creatures safe.
Cancellation Policy
At the time of the contract submission we require a 50% non-refundable deposit, with the balance due 30 days prior to the event. Cancellation after initial signing of the Event Agreement and prior to the event date will result in forfeiture of any and all deposits made to date.
