I prefer to keep The Courtyard exposed, but I don want to lose the space if it rains. What are my options?
The Foundry can arrange for a tent to be on standby in case of foul weather. Arrangements are typically made 1-3 months in advance of your event. Putting a tent on standby requires a non-refundable deposit. The deposit is one-third the tent rental fee. Once the deposit is received, standby status is confirmed. The Foundry will then call you 24-48 hours prior to event to confirm if you would like the tent. If it turns out you need the tent, the tent company will come set it up and you can give The Foundry the balance due. If you decline the tent, the tent company will keep the deposit but you will not be required to pay the full balance. If you do not opt to put a tent standby, you can decline the courtyard up to 24 hours in advance of your event. The courtyard fee will be refunded in full provided that you give The Foundry 24 hours notice.
