Do I need an event planner?
We want you to have the best possible event. From experience, we have learned that weddings benefit tremendously from an event planner's expert guidance. Therefore, weddings at the Boulder JCC require an event planner. Other types of events absolutely benefit from an event planner's assistance, but it is not required.
Does my event need a dance floor?
If your event has dancing, a dance floor is required. The Boulder JCC has a dance floor in-house available for rent that matches our main event space. You are not required to use ours. You are welcome to rent from an outside vendor. We will coordinate delivery, setup, and pick up with your chosen vendor at no additional charge.
Where do I get linens for my event?
Linens, e.g., tablecloths, napkins, are typically coordinated with your caterer. They will add linens to your rentals order for dinnerware, flatware, glassware, tents, decor, etc.
Does the Boulder JCC have Assistive Listening Devices?
Yes. The Boulder JCC strives to create a place that is inclusive for all people. Assistive Listening Devices are available free of charge to community members attending events in Levin Hall at the Boulder JCC.
Does the Boulder JCC sell alcohol? Does my organization need a Special Event Permit from the City of Boulder?
The Boulder JCC does not directly provide or sell alcohol. However, you are welcome to have alcohol at your event. In some cases, a Special Event Permit from the City of Boulder may be required. See below.
Not required: Family/friend-oriented events with alcohol that do not include fundraising or selling, e.g., mitzvahs, weddings, etc. and that are private and not advertised to the public (including social media sites such as Eventbrite, Nextdoor, Meetup and Facebook) usually do not require a permit.
Required: If the event with alcohol (cash bar or gratis) is advertised to the public or involves the direct or indirect selling of alcohol (cash bar, drink tickets, open bar included with event ticket price, etc.), then a permit is required. The City of Boulder has the final say on which events require a permit.
Special event permits are granted to non-profit organizations. You must have a meeting (virtual now available!) with the City of Boulder Licensing Division no less than 30 days prior to your event and you must call to schedule your appointment no less than 40 days prior to your event date. Service of alcohol for permitted events must be provided by a TiPS or other responsible alcohol vendor certified person(s).
What if I have questions about my event that relate to the special event permit?
Hot tip from the city: Every Wednesday the city hosts a call-in Q & A clinic regarding special permits. Interested applicants can register on the city’s website (link below). You can attend as many times as you would like.
