If you choose Press Street Station as your caterer, the restaurant will provide serving staff, ice, non-alcoholic beverages, glassware, napkins, cutlery, plates, etc. Everything else is the responsibility of the renter. However, we’re happy to refer you to folks we trust for flowers, audio equipment, lighting, bartending staff, photography, DJ services, and so on:
