Security
During review, MFC decides whether your event needs security. We look at the size and type of event, whether it is open to the public, timing, other programs running at the same time, parking and traffic, and other safety needs.
If security is required, we will tell you and give you the cost before your booking is confirmed. If it is not required, you can still request it. Security is charged at vendor cost.

- Early access or extended cleanup time
- Storing items before or after the event

Decorating is not part of the standard rental or setup. Approved outside decorators and vendors may be allowed if they follow MFC policies and facility access rules.
