Event Spaces: Wedding Receptions

Wedding receptions must adhere to all of the Alice Campbell Alumni Center's Rental Policies and Procedures, as well as these:

  1. It is the responsibility of the renter to ensure that the attendees' behavior is not destructive or abusive during an event. Drunken or belligerent behavior will not be tolerated and extra charges may result from any damage to the facility or any extra cleaning that may be needed due to attendees not respecting the Alice Campbell Alumni Center. Children must be under the supervision of an adult at all times and wandering within the building is not permitted.

  2. There may be a uniformed University of Illinois police officer present during your wedding reception.

  3. Kegs are not permitted at the Alumni Center and beer must be in cans or plastic bottles; no glass bottles of beer are allowed.

  4. A flat fee of $3,500 is charged for all wedding receptions, plus a 10 percent catering surcharge. One-third ($1,166.67) plus the damage deposit is due with the signed agreement; one third ($1,166.67) is due one week before the reception; and the final amount ($1,166.67 and a 10 percent catering surcharge) will be due upon receipt of the invoice, which will be mailed following the reception. In addition to these fees, a $500 damage deposit is required. This deposit will be refunded or applied to the final invoice if there is no damage to the premises and all policies are followed. If there is damage or excessive cleanup necessary due to unruly attendees, the deposit may be forfeited.

  5. Alcoholic beverages are not permitted outside the building. Signs indicating this policy will be posted at the doors. It is the renter's responsibility to ensure that attendees adhere to this policy. People taking alcohol outside the building may be subject to fine or arrest by University of Illinois Police. Evidence of people drinking outside the building, including, but not limited to, bottles, cans or visual sighting by UIAA employees, may result in forfeiture of the damage deposit due to failure to adhere to policy.

  6. All decorations and rental items must be approved by the Alumni Center's general manager. They must be free-standing, including signs. Nothing can be attached to the walls or ceiling. No posters or banners will be permitted on the Alumni Center's exterior or grounds without the approval of the general manager. No tacks, nails, tape or similar items may be used in meeting rooms and/or corridors. A special adhesive can be made available through the Event Department. Glitter, "silly string," rice, sprinkles or confetti will not be allowed in the Alumni Center. No open-flame candles will be permitted. Candles in a hurricane lamp will be allowed, but candles, the hurricane lamp and the flame must extend no more than 6 inches above the table surface.

  7. All events at the Alumni Center must end by 11:30 p.m., and all guests must exit the building by midnight. Organizers and clean-up crews are permitted to stay until 1:00 a.m. to complete their duties. All items brought into the Alumni Center must be removed at the end of the event; no overnight storage is permitted unless previous arrangements have been made.
