How Booking Works
-
Here is the full path from inquiry to event day:
• Submit an inquiry at heirloomeastbay.com or email events@heirloomeastbay.com
• Schedule a tour of the event spaces
• Confirm your date, package, and any add-ons with our events team
• Sign your event contract
• Pay your $200 deposit to secure your date on the calendar
• Pay your final invoice at least 48 hours before your event
• Host your event — we will be there
• Deposit returned within 7 days if all guidelines are met
-
Tours are available on Mondays between 1:00 and 7:00 PM and take about 20 to 30 minutes. Email events@heirloomeastbay.com to schedule yours.On the second Sunday of each month, we host a public farm tour from 2:00 to 3:00 PM. You are welcome to drop in and see the event spaces as part of that tour. No appointment needed.
-
Your date is held once your signed contract and $200 deposit are both received. Until then, the date remains open to other inquiries.
The $200 Deposit
-
The deposit holds your date and is refundable after your event, provided all venue guidelines are met. It is not applied to your final balance — it sits separately and comes back to you.
-
Your deposit will be returned via PayPal within 7 days of your event. Depending on your bank and payment method, processing may take up to 10 to 14 days to appear in your account.
-
The deposit is forfeited if any of the following occur:
• Amplified music playing after 9:00 PM
• Guests remaining on the property or space not cleared by your contracted teardown end time
• Latex balloons, foil balloons, or plastic confetti brought onto the property
• Cooking food indoors
• Nails, screws, tacks, or adhesive hooks used on any wall or surface
• Trash not properly sorted or overflow waste left behind
• Tables, chairs, or moved items not returned to original positions
• Any cleanup beyond normal use required after your event
-
• Cancelled more than 14 days before your event: full deposit refund
• Cancelled between 14 and 2 days before your event: deposit forfeited
• Cancelled within 48 hours: deposit forfeited; if your final balance was already paid, that payment is also non-refundable
• If Heirloom must cancel due to an emergency: full refund of all payments made, plus help finding an alternative date
Venue Spaces
-
We have three event spaces at Heirloom:
• The Event Barn: Our indoor venue, sheltered from weather. Seats up to 80 guests, max capacity of 100. This is the only space with a microphone and PA system.
• The Meadow: An outdoor space with a stage, well suited for weddings, concerts, and performances. Up to 100 guests.
• The Front Lawn: Open outdoor space suited for picnic-style gatherings. Up to 100 guests.
All event spaces include access to the children's play area, gardens, and restrooms.
-
Yes. We have 80 chairs and a full set of rectangular dining tables: eight 6-foot tables and four 8-foot tables, plus eight standing cocktail tables. These are included at no cost if you set up and break down yourself. If you would like staff to handle setup and teardown, that add-on is $100.
-
We can accommodate up to 50 vehicles, with parking on both paved surfaces and the lawn. A Heirloom team member will be on site to help direct guests parking on the grass.
NOTE: Planning a surprise party? We have a separate field where guests can park out of sight. It is about a 5-minute walk to The Event Barn from that location.
-
If weather becomes an issue and The Event Barn is available on your date, we will work with you to move indoors. We recommend discussing a weather backup plan at booking so everyone is prepared ahead of time.
Setup, Teardown + Day Of
-
Setup time is included in your package:
• Sheep Package: 30 minutes
• Goat Package: 1 hour
• Essentials Package: 1 hour
• Celebration Package: 2 hours
• Full Day Package: 3 hours
• Team Essentials: 1 hour
• Team Day: 1 hour
Need more time? You can add 2 additional setup hours for $200.
-
You have 30 minutes after your event end time to tear down, clean up, and clear the space. All guests must be off the property and the space returned to its original condition within that window. Additional teardown time can be arranged in advance.
Decor + What to Bring
-
We share our property with goats, sheep, chickens, horses, and a llama. Goats in particular will eat almost anything they find — and balloon fragments and confetti are nearly impossible to fully clean up outdoors. To keep our animals safe, we ask that these items stay off the property.
-
Plenty of beautiful options work here:
• Cloth banners and fabric bunting
• Cloth drapery and fabric backdrops
• Photo displays and printed signage
• Fresh or dried florals
• Paper lanterns and paper pompoms
• Candles and lanterns (with a base to catch wax)
• Potted plants and greenery
• Ribbon streamers (gathered carefully at end of event)
-
You can hang items from the barn rafters. On surfaces, you are welcome to use 3M adhesive hooks, sticky tack, or tape.
Nails, screws, or tacks that puncture walls are not permitted. All hanging materials must be fully removed during teardown.
Food + Catering
-
Yes, you are welcome to bring your own food and beverages or hire any caterer you choose. There are no restrictions on outside food or catering vendors.
-
There is no guest kitchen. Cooking and food prep must take place outside or in designated areas. Cooking indoors is not permitted in any space.
Alcohol + Music
-
Alcohol is permitted with prior approval. You will need to obtain event insurance that covers alcohol and submit it to our team for approval before your event date. We will confirm final approval once the insurance is received.
-
All amplified music must end by 9:00 PM, out of respect for the surrounding neighborhood. This applies to all events, including those with a contracted end time of 10:00 PM.After 9:00 PM, a microphone is still available in The Event Barn for speeches, announcements, or directions. No music playback or amplified sound for entertainment purposes after 9:00 PM.
The Farm + Animals
-
All events include access to the farm grounds and gardens, where guests can see the animals. Hands-on interaction is available through our add-on options:
• Staff-Guided Farm Tour ($200): A 45-minute guided visit with the sheep, goats, horses, chickens, and Sunie the llama.
• Petting Zoo Corner ($300): A 12x12 pen set up in the location of your choice with staff-supervised goat time. Up to 4 kids at a time.
