Here is some information that will help you
determine if Turner Hall is the right place to hold your
event.
The main area of Turner Hall is a large room
with a stage at one end and a balcony (with 335 built-in
seats) on the other end. As the Hall is a multi-use
facility, the main floor does not have built in seating. To
help keep the rental rates down, Turner Hall is
do-it-yourself when it comes to setting up tables and
chairs. We have them and they are included in the rental of
the Hall, but you are required to set them up before your
event and put them away after your event. You are free to
decorate the Hall, without leaving any permanent marks, of
course, but must take down and dispose of those decorations
at the end of your event. We have a custodian who cleans the
Hall, so you don’t need to do any of that type of
preparation, but when your event is over you do need to
sweep up any mess on the floors (confetti, flower petals),
wipe up any spills (champagne, juice), remove anything you
brought in (cans of pop, boxes) and take the trash out to
the dumpster in the parking lot. Renters are responsible for
any damage they or their guests/audience do to the Hall
during their rental period.
As the date of your event approaches, you
will set up a time to meet with the manager of the Hall. At
this meeting, the manager will give you a detailed tour of
the Hall, answering any questions you may have. At this time
you will be given a key to the Hall and may come and go for
the duration of your rental period. Naturally, the key must
be returned at the end of the rental period.
Alcohol is permitted in the Hall, but groups
and individuals are required to provide dram insurance that
names the City of Galena as co-insured. The cost of the dram
insurance varies but tends to run between $100 and $200 for
a large wedding reception. You may purchase this insurance
through any insurance company you like.
If you are interested in presenting a music,
dance or dramatic performance in the Hall, be sure to check
out the stage dimensions and the information about our
theatrical lighting system.
Finally, if you are ready to book the Hall,
take a look at our rental contract and then call or email
your booking request. You will be sent a contract filled out
with the information about your event which you will have to
sign and return with your payment.
