Absolutely, you are welcome to bring in your own decorations for any Shakers Pub event (flowers, table runners, etc.), in fact, we encourage it! However, candles, taping objects/pictures on painted walls, glitter and confetti are strictly prohibited. Any use of prohibited items will result in a extensive cleaning fee that must be paid at the end of the event.

There are two parts to this question: RESERVATION FEES and possible ROOM USE FEES. We require a reservation fee be paid in advance (non-refundable for cancellations) to hold the private space for your event, but there may be additional room fees that may apply. ROOM FEES Depending on the final guest count during the private event, a room use fee may be incurred. Basically each missing guest under the minimum 20 guests will be charged a $25 fee. For example, if the final guest count is 19, the room use fee would be $25; if the final guest count is 15, the room use fee would be $125, etc. Groups of 8 or less guests will be charged a $300 room use fee. ​ ​ DEPOSIT FEE SCHEDULE Depending on the time of year and the day of the week you would like to host your event, the pricing is as follows: During months of JANUARY – NOVEMBER ​ LUNCH – Any day $100 Deposit; $300 Food & Beverage Minimum Available in two-hour time slots from 11AM to 3:30PM (preferred time slots are 11AM to 1PM or 1:30 – 3:30PM) DINNER – Tuesdays & Wednesdays $200 Deposit; $500 Food & Beverage Minimum Available anytime from 4PM to Close DINNER – Thursdays $200 Deposit; $700 Food & Beverage Minimum Available anytime from 4PM to close DINNER – Fridays & Saturdays (Limited Time) $300 Deposit; $500 Food & Beverage Minimum Choice of two time slots available: 4PM to 7PM or 7:30PM to CLOSE DINNER – Fridays & Saturdays (Unlimited) $600 Deposit; $1000 Food & Beverage Minimum Available anytime from 4PM to Close (i.e. event begins at 5PM, 5:30PM, 6PM, 6:30PM, 7PM) ​​ _________________ ​ During month of DECEMBER ​ LUNCH – Any day (Limited Time Slot: 11AM - 12:45PM or 1PM - 3:30PM) $100 Deposit; $300 Food & Beverage Minimum Two time slots available: 11AM to 12:45PM* or 1PM to 3:30PM *food order must be completed by 11:30AM by all guests LUNCH – Any day, Any Time $200 Deposit; $600 Food & Beverage Minimum DINNER – Tuesdays & Wednesdays $200 Deposit; $700 Food & Beverage Minimum Available anytime from 4PM to Close ​ DINNER – Thursdays $200 Deposit; $800 Food & Beverage Minimum Available anytime from 4PM to close DINNER – Fridays & Saturdays (Limited Time) $300 Deposit; $600 Food & Beverage Minimum Choice of two time slots available: 4PM to 7PM or 7:30PM to CLOSE DINNER – Fridays & Saturdays (Unlimited) $600 Deposit; $1200 Food & Beverage Minimum Available anytime from 4PM to Close (i.e. event begins at 5PM, 5:30PM, 6PM, 6:30PM, 7PM) ​ PLEASE NOTE: We accept cash, check, S&P gift cards, or credit cards for Shakers Pub events.
