The Place on South Main

07/28/2024

Due to the decline in rentals, The Place on South Main will not be renting the building out anymore. There might be a day when we might consider renting again. It’s been a pleasure meeting so many people over the last 5 years.
A special thank you goes out to the ones who recommended us and all of the decorators who came in and did all the decorating for some of the customers. A lot of talented ladies out there.
We’re sorry for some inconveniences for our future rentals but the decision had to be made.
Thanks again and hope to see you maybe in the future!

We will be renting again starting in April ( Loose caboose is April 1st. April 1st is closed.)

There’s been a few changes in price and policy.

Cash or Cashapp only! A deposit is required to hold the day of your event. A text or phone call doesn’t constitute a deposit. First come, first serve. I get a lot of customers who wait until the next day or longer to pay the deposit. If someone calls/texts me between and pay the deposit, you will have to choose another day!

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

YOU MUST BE 18 YEARS OLD TO RENT THE PLACE ON SOUTH MAIN!!

Price: $175 - $50 deposit= $125 balance

1. Deposits are non-refundable.
Cash or CashApp only accepted!

2. BALANCES ARE DUE BEFORE KEYS ARE GIVEN!

3. The keys will be given the day of your event for decorating. No day before decorating.
Each event will be allowed 4 hrs which includes clean-up. No exceptions!

4. NO tampering with articles in the back. All items you request for your event (tables/chairs/etc) will be sitting out for you. If you change your mind on number of tables/chairs, you can get more if needed of the rectangle tables and folding chairs. DO NOT use any other tables or chairs (wooden/cushion chairs).

5. NEVER touch the AC/HEAT unit. It is set accordingly.

6. As the renter, it is your responsibility to make sure the building is cleaned. DO NOT leave it to your decorator. YOU should be the last person out to lock up! Trash is to be removed from the building after your event. Trash goes in one of the three bins outside beside Kenny’s TV. DO NOT take the trash can from the building.

7. Place the key in the mailbox outside the front door when your event is over.

8. NO staples, nails or screws to be used in the woodwork. Command Strips, double sided tape is ok.

9. NO smoking in the building. If you smoke outside please dispose of the butts accordingly.

You will be required to read the policy before submitting your deposit.

Thank you and we look forward to renting to you again.

The name listed on this invoice IS the responsible party. Any damages to the building, tables, chairs, etc. WILL be the named person(s) responsibility and will be charged. Your deposit is your signature for rental.
The Place on South Main is not responsible for any and all injuries received on the premises.

Thank you,
The Place on South Main

FYI:
I GAVE BACK (refunded) OUR FIRST AND LAST DEPOSIT!
With EVERY rental I text the customer an invoice and a text that says:
‘PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!’
If customers don’t read it, you might be missing out on something and wouldn’t have to ask ‘do I get the deposit back?’
So, if you’re reading this post then you’ll know when we will start back renting. As for now, I’m not taking any deposits for rentals for a while. It’s unfortunate for our customers who DO care enough to respect The Place while other customers just use The Place as a place so they don’t have to clean up their own house.

Thanks to our loyal, respectful customers and we’ll look forward to serving your needs again!

Reminder:
I’m getting a lot of calls/texts about certain days of the month(s) whether they are available or not. Again…if that day is available and you want it, I will not hold it without a deposit. We use CashApp now, and if you want me to send a ‘request’ for your deposit, that ‘request’ is not the actual deposit and I will NOT add you to that day on my calendar. Once I get the notification that your deposit has been made, I will send you an invoice and add your name to the requested day.
Sometimes customers want the same day and we try to accommodate first come, first serve. We try to remember who wanted that particular day,
(in order) so if there’s a cancellation we can contact you to see if you still want to rent it. Most of the time we don’t find out about a cancellation until the week of their event. Some customers don’t bother to let us know. All deposits are non-refundable! IF, you have to cancel your event, and you let us know, we will allow you to re-schedule your event within 30 days, or within reason, of the previous date (if the new date is available).
We DO NOT rent on Friday nights anymore!! It’s a conflict with a Saturday event because most Friday events are late at night. If you have a late Saturday event, please be cleaned up and out of the building within your 4 hour timeframe. If you tell us your party starts at 7pm, be cleaned up and out by 11pm. If you start late, that’s on you!
Extended times (+4hrs) must be approved before your event.
We try our best to accommodate all of our customers. Sometimes we may make a slip but try to keep them at a minimum. We thank each and everyone for your business.

Thank you,
Calvin/Stephani

Effective as of June 20th, we WILL NOT give the key out to anyone but the responsible party who’s name is attached to the invoice. Not the decorator(s).
As a reminder, from the time we give the key and it’s returned to the box, everything that happens in The Place is your responsibility…which includes cleaning! The responsible person should be the last one out before dropping the key.

Thank you!

We’ve tried hard to accommodate customers/decorators to come in on Friday’s to decorate. The last couple of months it seems to be getting earlier and earlier everyone wants to enter to decorate. Understand that if you enter to decorate earlier than 4pm is considered another day of rental. Technically, anytime on Friday could be considered another rental day. I send out a invoice that explains all of this that some customers don’t read.
As of May 1st, to enter The Place on South Main before 4pm the day before your event to decorate, we will charge a extra $50 to enter. We understand things happen in your lives that you have to prioritize but it happens with us also.
Thanks to all who rent from us and we surely enjoy your business!

Thank you,

Thank you Teresa Curry for the fine decorations you did for Kaitlyn Irwin’s 21st birthday. You worked hard on everything.

We recently had a client hold a ‘Boss Baby’ event. The decorating was done by Stacy Rasco. If you need a decorator, she’s one of a few good ones we have come in and decorate for events.

The Place on South Main Rental policy:

We schedule our dates on a ‘first come first serve’ basis. Which means, deposits are NOT required, but highly recommended. A non-refundable deposit guarantees the day you choose. It also guarantees us that you’re going to show up on your day.
We cannot accept a phone call and schedule you a day without the deposit. Other customers may want the same day as you. If you don’t pay the deposit and cancel we could lose 2 possible rentals.
So please be aware of this situation when considering to rent for your event.
Thank you,
Calvin/Stephani Irwin

We will be open before, during and after the Newton Christmas Parade. Drop by and eat some popcorn and drink some hot cocoa before the parade. Sit and chat after the parade. Maybe we could schedule your special event at that time!
