Frequently Asked Questions

When can I see Tuscan Hall?

We encourage you to come by and visit before you make your decision. Since Tuscan Hall is highly secured when not in use, you’ll need to make an appointment for a tour. A staff member will be happy to meet you and answer any questions during normal business hours. If you’d like to come on a weekend, just let us know in advance. We can have our security guard open the hall for you, but he may not be able to answer all your questions.

How close is Tuscan Hall to Chapel Dulcinea?

We DO have tables and chairs available should you choose to use them. We also have a kitchen on the premises that is available for you to use.

Their service typically includes pick up and delivery.

Can we serve alcohol at Tuscan Hall?

Yes, but due to Texas liability laws, we require a licensed bartender to serve the alcoholic drinks. We must receive a copy of his/her bartender’s license at least two weeks prior to your event or no alcohol will be allowed on site. You are responsible for the behavior of your guests and will be asked to remove anyone that management deems to be obviously drunk.

When is check-in and check-out time?

A Full-day rental is 9AM till 11PM. All events must end no later than 11PM.

There are NO exceptions to this policy.

The security guard is under strict orders to end all events at 11PM. This is when your guests must leave. You have until no later than midnight to clean up and be gone. Thank you for understanding the necessity of this policy.

When renting hourly: We can unlock the hall earlier than 9AM but your rental time must always include all set-up and clean-up time. In other words – what is the total amount of time that you and your set-up crew and your caterers are going to occupy the hall? We must know when you need to be in and when we can count on you being completely out if we are to manage multiple bookings in a single day. This is the only way we can manage a schedule that makes Tuscan Hall available hourly. Thanks for understanding.

As with full-day rentals, all events must end no later than 11PM when renting hourly.
