Setup and Take Down (not adjustable): this timeframe in your reservation is the system designated buffer for our Event Services team to setup and takedown your event, clean the venue, and reset for the upcoming reservation. Event organizers are not permitted to utilize this time for event needs. If additional time is needed after your event please let your Scheduler or Event Manager know so that Post-Event time can be factored in.

Pre-Event: this time frame is your time to setup for your event (decorate, confirm correct setup, rehearse, etc.). Thirty-minutes to one hour of pre-event time is recommended.

Event: The start time (doors open) and end time (program end) of your event.

Post-Event: this timeframe is your time to takedown decorations and equipment from you event. Thirty-minutes to one hour of post-event time is recommended for attendee departure and event clean-up.
