CATERED FOOD
You're welcome to choose your own caterer and bring in the outside food for a $25 garbage fee. Your caterer might provide you with your utensils, napkins, plates, etc. QED does not, so it's on you to arrange. We have lots of local restaurants that cater if you need some ideas.

NOTE: Sternos are not allowed from Jun thru Aug due to the heat. For summertime catering we recommend cold pasta salads, bagel spreads, fruit trays, heroes, etc.

There is no fee if you're just bringing in dessert. But please no ice cream cakes!

DRINKS:
QED offers beer & wine, mixed drinks, coffee & teas, and a whole bunch of non-alcoholic beverages! You can have a cash bar (our prices are super reasonable- check out our menu) or an open bar, where we can run a tab. We can also do a hybrid where we cap the open bar to a limit of your choosing and run a cash bar thereafter. 18% gratuity will be added to all tabs. 

Outside drinks are NOT allowed except for water bottles and juice boxes. 

SOUND SYSTEM / TECH:
Since we're a performance space, we have a very nice sound system and easy tech set up to play your favorite music, plus three microphones. We also have the ability to stream on our TVs if you want to play a video or slideshow. DJs / their equipment are not accommodated. You won't need one! We're a small space and you can share a playlist via Spotify or Amazon Prime Music or plug your phone into our sound system.

If you’d like to stream a photo slideshow to our Apple TV, you can easily mirror your Apple device. Just make sure you have the photos setup in a photo album to play a slideshow! See more details about our tech specs here.

*Tech requests MUST be pre-approved and tested at least 48 hours in advance. 

DECORATIONS:
You are responsible for your own tablecloths and decorations.

We have plenty of tables and chairs.

We have 14 square tables about 30" square and three 2x4 ft tables we use for buffet service.

ABSOLUTELY NO GLITTER OR CONFETTI OF ANY KIND PLEASE! Still-inflated balloons cannot be left behindYou're welcome to hang things on the walls with any sort of tape. Please factor in the time you need to set up and break down your decorations when requesting a time for your party.
