WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

The Convivium Urban Farmstead Event Center is beautifully crafted for a cozy intimate event. The attention to detail by the Convivium staff was second to none! We were able to create an amazing event with the use of the exquisitely crafted wood trestle tables, the glowing fire was enticing, and the unique backdrop and stage was perfect for gift opening. The food was delicious and the lemonade, so good!

Frequently Asked Questions

It says that proceeds from my event rental support your mission - what does that mean?
Convivium is a nonprofit whose mission is to improve life through food.

Convivium offers a unique and delicious catering menu -- inspired by and utilizing the produce of our neighborhood gardens. We also have a bar and full liquor license. Click here to learn more and see the menu.
Do you offer a discount for nonprofits renting the space?
Yes, we offer a discounted rate to nonprofits at $75/hour. We do still require a non-refundable deposit to secure your date and time. 
What is included in the the space rental free?
Renting Convivium's event center gives you access to 14 handcrafted wood tables (8' x 3') and 100 wooden folding chairs. Most people don't want to cover the beautiful tables with linens, but we are happy to cover them for you if you plan on doing art projects or anything that could potentially damage the wood. 

We also offer a variety of other services including: covering the murals with curtains, indoor/outdoor fire, PA system rental, decoration rentals, and custom signs, among others. For a full list of current services and prices, contact Lauren at events@convivium-dbq.com.
Do I have to make a deposit?
Convivium is a busy place. Because of that, we do ask for a non-refundable deposit to secure your date and time.  This deposit varies based on the time duration and event you are hosting. 
I see you have rental options of 3 hours and 8 hours, can I add time to those?
Yes! If you are needing extra time to set up before the event or dance a couple more songs at the end, you can add time with a cost of $100/hour. Please know that we can't always accommodate the extra time if it interferes with our restaurant hours. Check with our Event Coordinator to see what will work for your date/event.
