How are rental prices determined?

We consider several things in determining the Rental Fee including the day of the week and the type or purpose of the event.

How much do I have to pay to hold a date?

A minimum of $200 will hold the date. This payment and subsequent payments toward the Rental Fee are non-refundable. All payments need to be made in person by cash or money order – paid to Unitarian Universalist Church of Corpus Christi, or U2C3, or UU Church. 

What deposits are required?

Separate from the Rental Fee is a $200 “Key, Cleaning, Damage” (K.C.D.) deposit. This deposit is required for all rentals and is due a day or two before the event. To receive a complete refund of the K.C.D. deposit, the key must be returned, the cleaning checklist must have been followed, and the space must have been left as it was found without damage.

Is clean-up required?

Yes. We require that renters clean up immediately after their events to return our facilities to the condition in which they were found. We have a checklist to be used to make sure cleanup is thorough. It will be helpful if you have a helper or team of helpers available for cleanup.

What facilities are available?

Do you know a good decorator, DJ, photographer, or caterer?

Chef Tony for catering – ask for more information.

We do not have a decorator, Dj, or photographer to recommend at this time.

Do you require security?

At our discretion, we may require security. Please note that all of our rental events are for invited guests only. We do not allow ‘flyer parties.’

Do you allow dancing?

Yes, we do.

Do you allow alcohol?

We do allow alcohol to be served. However, we require that people be responsible hosts and not overserve anyone, or allow consumption of alcohol by persons under the age of 21.

Glass bottles are not allowed to be given out at all. Cups, cans, or plastic bottles are allowed alternatives. The presence of alcohol at an event will affect the rental price.

Is the outdoor gazebo included?

The outdoor gazebo can be rented along with the outdoor space. The gazebo does not currently have electricity.

Can conferences, workshops, and meetings be held in your spaces?

Yes, we are very interested in working with you. Please email rentals@uucorpus.org with your event needs/details and call 361-986-8855 to leave a message with your interest and contact number.

Is there a place to get ready?

For large weddings, and depending on availability, there are rooms for bridal parties and groom and groomsmen to get ready. For smaller events, there is a small office space available. That small space is also perfect for entertainers needing to change into costumes for children’s parties. (We do ask that you please pick up your stray feathers, fur, confetti.)

When can we set up and decorate for our event?

Setup and decoration should be planned for the same day of the event. Please check with our rental coordinator to confirm scheduling and special arrangements.

Is there a map of your grounds and buildings?

We are currently working on a digital copy.
