Yes! Our venue is fully accessible, with an accessible entrance, restrooms, and flexible event layouts to accommodate mobility needs. You are welcome to contact us to discuss specific accessibility needs and concerns.

We do host weddings, but The Velvet Fox is much more than that — we’re a community hub for celebrations, fundraisers, live music, drag brunches, author talks, and everything in between. Looking for wedding services? Email us at info@velvetfoxevents.com or visit our sister site at velvetfoxweddings.com. 

Yes! We offer in-house catering, beverage service, and bar packages. We can also coordinate with outside vendors when needed.

Outside alcohol is not permitted due to licensing laws, but we’re happy to customize our bar service for you. Outside food may be approved for private events. We also allow outside vendors, sometimes for a fee, as we do not have a required preferred vendor list. We do reserve the right to refuse to allow outside vendor service.

Fill out our inquiry form above or send us an email at info@velvetfoxevents.com. We’ll reach out to confirm availability, discuss your needs, walk you through rental options, and book a tour or private consultation.

We’ve host everything from company parties and baby showers to fundraisers, galas, and pop-up dinners. If it brings people together — we’ve probably hosted it or want to.
