Event space policy

The space you are renting is, in addition to being a lovely space for holding your workshop or event, a regular office space for Carolyne Taylor & Associates, and the studio space for Elate Cosmetics.  Please be aware of this and respect that some areas and personal items in the space are ‘off limits’.  If your guests, for example, are interested in sampling the Elate products, encourage them to come in for studio hours, listed on the Elate website.
