Catering

Renters must choose from our list of approved caterers. Our well-trained and seasoned caterers are familiar with MAGC and ensure that you and guests at your event are given the attention they deserve. These approved caterers are licensed to serve wine, beer and champagne or hard liquor if desired.

Liability Insurance
One-day liability insurance is required. The insurance certificate must name the Marin Art and Garden Center as additionally insured for up to $1,000,000. If alcohol will be served at the event, the certificate must reference alcohol.

Music
The Marin Art & Garden Center is located in a sound-sensitive residential neighborhood. All amplified music must be located indoors and certain limitations exist for live bands. A signed Music/Sound Agreement is required. All music and all events must end by 10 p.m.

Parking
Ninety-eight parking spots are available on a first-come, first-serve basis in the main parking lot on the Center grounds. Ample overflow parking is located on Laurel Grove and in Ross Common. Larger events require the use of valet.

Valet
All events with a guest count exceeding 85 will require a valet. This service will be arranged by MAGC and billed according to size of event.

Photo Shoots
All professional photographers wishing to use MAGC for photo shoots not associated with an existing rental on MAGC property must check in with the MAGC staff prior to the photo shoot. The shoot must be scheduled around other events taking place at MAGC and a fee of $50 is required for the use of MAGC as the photography backdrop. To schedule a photo shoot at the Center, please contact us for a photo shoot form.
