Rental Categories

The Sonoma County Regional Parks Department has three rental categories for the basis of fees charged at the Veterans Memorial Auditoriums. They are: Commercial, Non-Commercial, and Non-Profit.

Commercial - Any event, program, or activity being held with a charge to the public resulting in direct compensation or income to benefit a licensee who does not qualify for non-profit status.

Non-Commercial - Any public or private event, program or activity being held with no charge to the public or its guests by a licensee who does not qualify for non-profit status. This category includes events such as private parties, wedding receptions, or business meetings.

Non-Profit Organization Rates - The County charges reduced rental rates for non-profit organizations. To qualify for Non-Profit rates, the event-sponsoring organization must provide the booking office with a copy of their Non-Profit 'Certificate of Determination' issued by the Federal or State Government.
