What is your cancellation policy? If you change your mind, you can cancel your appointment within 24 hours of booking it with no penalty. If you cancel more than a month before your event, we will retain 20% of your booking fee for administrative purposes. If you cancel one month to two weeks before your event, you'll receive a 50% refund. Events cancelled within 14 days aren't eligible for a refund.

Can I book a tour? To schedule a tour, please book a 30-minute time slot in advance through our booking link. Tours are self-guided and available from 5:00 PM–10:00 PM on weekdays and weekends, as availability allows.

Can I come in early to set up? We operate as an hourly rental, and you have access to the space only during the hour(s) you book. Due to the DIY nature of our event venue and frequent bookings, we are unable to provide access to renters outside of their reserved times.

Where should I park? The Bedford Exchange Building parking lot is available to you and your guests in addition to the Mission Thrift parking lot across Bedford and any street-side parking that you can find.  Please DO NOT park at Elizabeth's, Miriam's House, and Bentley's parking areas.

What areas are available to me? The banquet room with farm tables, the meeting room with soft seating and a conference table, and the bathrooms are available to our renters. The space beyond the 4 other doors is our secure office and storage space. Please do not use or enter this space unless a staff representative is present and escorts you through.  

How do I gain access and lock up?  You will receive a key code 24 hours upon arrival.

Where can I access water and ice? We have two sinks in our restrooms that can be used for water if you are not drinking it.  If you want drinking water, we recommend bringing in bottles. The 7/11 across Bedford Ave is conveniently located if you need ice for your event.

What appliances are available? At this time, we have a fridge, freezer, and microwave. Please note: these appliances are not guaranteed at the time of your event.

Can I have pets? We love our furry friends, but to ensure the comfort and cleanliness of our venue for all guests, pets are not allowed inside Venue 4/24. Service animals, as defined by the ADA, are always welcome.

Can I move furniture? Yes, you may rearrange any of the furniture; however, it must be returned to its original position after your event. Please take pictures beforehand so you know you are returning the items to their original places. Our farm tables are especially heavy and unwieldy, and Venue 4/24 will not be responsible for any injuries or damages sustained as a result of moving furniture.  Renters can move furniture at their own risk.

Can I burn candles? You may use real candles as long as the flame is protected by a glass hurricane. This includes both pillar and taper candles.

How do I play music? A speaker is located on the piano and is Bluetooth-enabled.  The top button turns on the speaker, and the middle button allows it to connect to a Bluetooth device.

What do I need to do before I leave? All food and personal items must be removed from the space by the end of your rental period.  Any tables used should be wiped down and free from spills or splashes. Please remove all trash to the dumpster across from the primary entrance. Spot clean the floor of any large trash or debris, especially food! Return the thermostats to 65 degrees if you changed them throughout your event. We ask that you kindly leave our venue as you found it so that it can continue to benefit the community and grow the work of Freedom 4/24. Thank you for your consideration.

Is anything not allowed? We ask that you do not use glitter, confetti, rice, dried petals, or any other elements that are thrown and very difficult to clean up.  A charge of $50 will be administered if we find that significant clean-up is necessary after your event.

What is the WIFI? The WIFI password will be given by email 24 hours before your event.

Can I serve Alcohol? In order to serve any alcohol at your event, we require that you obtain a liquor license as well as event insurance. https://www.abc.virginia.gov/

How do we control the temperature? There are two thermostats. The first is located in the corner of the main event room behind the black room divider. The second is located in the second lobby area.

Do I need event insurance? If you plan to serve alcohol at your event, we require a general liability event insurance policy that covers damages up to 1 million dollars.
