Food and Beverage

Renter must provide their own caterer and alcohol service. NAC must approve the caterer and be given their contact information at least 60 days before the event.

NAC does not provide service staff for catered events. It is the responsibility of the renter to coordinate food and beverage service with their caterer: including delivery, set-up, and cleanup.

NAC staff will determine on a case-by-case basis if alcohol will be allowed. Alcohol will not be permitted during events catered to minors (such as graduation parties). Alcohol may not leave the building and must not be served to persons under 21 years of age. All Nebraska liquor laws must be followed at all times. NAC reserves the right to remove individuals from the premises that are intoxicated.

Use of the kitchen is included with your rental. Meals may not be prepared in the NAC kitchen, but there is a refrigerator, freezer, microwave, and sink available for your caterer.

Guidelines

NAC has some equipment available for rental; including Tables (Round), High Top Tables, Linens, Stage, Bar, Piano, and Kitchenware.

No posters, charts, signs, decorations or other items may be attached to walls, doors, or pillars or hung from the ceiling or lighting fixtures. The safety of the artwork is of paramount importance and must be attended to at all times.
