Vendors, Equipment & Other Event Needs The UMLAUF is a blank palette for all events and the curated list of preferred vendors ensures that each and every desire can be met. A limited selection of equipment is available; however, it is recommended to work with one of the preferred vendors for further event needs. The most common vendors events will utilize are caterers, rental companies, florists, bands/DJ’s and valet. It is encouraged to work with a preferred partner, as this makes coordinating events a breeze. Staffing Rental rates include UMLAUF staffing for each event. A security guard will assist guests from the overflow parking lot to the Museum and ensure the event is safe, seamless and secure. An UMLAUF event staff member will orient guests and vendors, as well as assist with maintaining the Museum, Garden and artwork. Events with more than 250 guests will require additional staffing at $250 per staff member. Payments To complete the contract process, a refundable deposit of $1000 is due within 3 days of signing.

Credit card transactions are subject to a 3% transaction fee that will be automatically removed from the deposit return.
