SECURITY DEPOSIT – Parties in the covered pavilion area require a $500 security deposit. Once the party has ended and guests have finished cleanup, a walkthrough will be done by a member of Fruitville Grove staff to confirm no damages to the property, rental equipment, bathrooms, animal barn, etc. have been made. Once it has been confirmed that the venue and property was left in the way it was found, the security deposit will be returned.
