What is The Sisters Venue?

THE SISTERS VENUE IS A SPACE IN THE VILALGE OF ARROYO GRANDE THAT HOLDS 3O-5O PEOPLE FOR EVENTS. IT IS A BLANK SPACE READY TO BE TRANSFORMED AS YOU DREAM OF.

Are There Bathrooms In The Venue ?

yes. THere are two bathrooms within the venue space, one with a toilet and sink and the other with a toilet/wash room and bathroom with a seating area for feeding mamas.

Do I need to book a tour before booking the venue?

Yes, we do require that all potential guests pre-book a tour with one of our team members. Seeing as we do a variety of events throughout the year, we’ll want to make sure the space is open for viewing & that there is someone here to give you a guided visit & answer any important questions you may have! Please email hello@slostaysrentals.com

How many people can the venue accommodate?

With over 15oo square feet of indoor/outdoor event space, sisters can accommodate a variety of different set-ups. As a general estimate, we can accommodate up to 3o guests for an indoor seated dinner, 40 for an outdoor luncheon, and up to 5o for a combined indoor/outdoor cocktail style event. These numbers all depend on the specific needs of each event (Space for DJ, Dance Floor, Cocktail Tables, Buffet vs. Plated meal, etc…) Our Venue Manager can work with you to determine what will fit best for your individual event.

What are the operating hours?

Friday/Sunday: AM & PM options available

Saturday: All day or possibly an hourly rate

We do require that all events end by 10:00pm, and are fully broken down by 11:00pm. All rental items and decor must be removed from the event space by 11:00pm on the night of the event. Failure to clean/pick up all items could result in loss of your original security deposit. Only the Venue Manager can make special exceptions for rentals picked up the next day (based solely on availability, and may include an overnight storage fee).

Can I bring my own Decorations?

While we encourage all guests to put their own signature stamp on each event, we do care greatly about the condition of our property, and therefore have specific rules as to what can be affixed to the space. Nothing may be nailed, stapled, or glued onto any portion of the indoor/outdoor venue. While confetti may be fun, it's no fun to clean up! We ask that you leave the confetti, rice, glitter & bird seed at home. Sparklers are strictly prohibited. As a rule of thumb, please give your Venue Manager a run down of any items you are looking to bring so that they can be approved ahead of time.

What is the Alcohol Policy?

Clients are welcome to bring in their own beer/wine/spirits for all events at The Penny. While you are welcome to BYOB we do ask that all bar services must be operated by a fully licensed bartender and/or caterer.

What kind of insurance is needed to have an event on the property?

We require that all clients obtain day of liability insurance of at least one million dollars ($1,000,000), naming The venue as additionally insured up to (60) days prior to the event. This can sometimes be done through your homeowner’s policy, and is also available through our insurance provider, our venue manager can walk you through the process if you decide to go through us. The cost for such a policy is typically between $150-300.

Who sets up and breaks down the event?

The only items that are set-up and broken down by sisters venue, are those that were exclusively ordered through the venue. Set Up & Take Down is the the responsibility of your Event Coordinator and/or Caterer. All rental items and decor must be removed from the event space by 11:00pm on the night of the event. Failure to clean/pick up all items could result in loss of your original security deposit. Only the Venue Manager can make special exceptions for rentals picked up the next day (based solely on availability, and may include an overnight storage fee).

Do you allow Smoking on the property?

This is a smoke free property, and there may be no smoking inside, or within 300 feet of the venue. Arroyo grande law prohibits smoking from nearly all public places including indoor/outdoor areas frequented by the public (such as sidewalks, parking garages, restaurants, stores, and playgrounds). The violation of this rule will result in partial loss of the security deposit.

Do you allow pets on the property?

Due to liability reasons, we do not allow pets on property at The SIsters venue.
