Questions
Everything people ask
How many people can you fit?
Our private event room seats up to 65 guests comfortably. There's a 15-guest minimum for a private room reservation.
What is the minimum spend for a private event?
Monday through Thursday it's $750. Friday through Sunday it's $1,250. Minimums don't include tax or gratuity.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes — a $250 deposit reserves the private event space. Cancellations or changes made less than 14 days before your event are subject to loss of deposit.
Can I bring in my own alcohol?
Yes. We're BYOB, so please feel free to bring your own beer, wine and champagne. Let us know in advance so we have the proper setup and glassware ready. We offer refrigerated storage for wine and beer up to one day before your event.
Is the room fully private?
Yes. It's a separate room with its own doors, not a partitioned section of the main dining room.
How long is the event?
Our standard events run three hours, with one hour directly before for setup and 30 minutes directly after for clean up.
What if I want to party a little longer?
We'll happily extend your party if the room is available. If you'd prefer to guarantee the time at booking, we charge a room fee of $200 for each additional hour reserved.
Can I come in before my event's start time to set up?
Yes. The space is available to you one hour directly before the event starts. Subject to room availability, we're glad to welcome you earlier.
Can I bring in my own decorations?
Yes — personalizing the space makes your event extra special. We just ask that you follow our decoration policy so we can preserve Celestino's walls, furniture and floors. Please don't tape or tack anything to any surface, and please avoid confetti, glitter and rose petals, which get embedded in our floors and patio.
Can I bring in my own dessert?
Yes. We offer dessert options, but you're welcome to bring your own — and we don't charge a cake-cutting or outside dessert fee.
Can we play our own music?
Absolutely. Just share your Apple Music playlist with us and we'll stream it through our sound system.
Can you accommodate a guest's dietary restrictions?
Yes. We're happy to prepare a special meal for someone with an allergy or dietary restriction. Please tell us about any special requests when you submit your menu choices so we can be prepared for your guest.
When should I choose my menu?
Final menu selections are due one week before your event. We're happy to guide you through it if you'd like suggestions, and your menu can be customized with dishes not listed in our menu options. Just ask.
When do you need my final guest count?
Final head count is due one day before your event, and your total bill is based on that number. If more guests come than anticipated, let us know as soon as you can so we can accommodate everyone.
Is the room wheelchair accessible?
Yes.
Do you charge a credit card fee?
Nope. We hate credit card fees too.
