Catering: Your caterer must have a DC catering and liquor license. Alcohol must be served by a licensed bartender. Please contact us for a list of vendors that have worked at Katzen before and know the space well.

Alcohol: If you would like to have alcohol served at your event, Katzen will need to put in a request form to the CAS Dean鈥檚 Office for special permission.

Tables/Linens: Katzen does NOT own or have catering tables and linens. Everything must be rented through your caterer or a party rental company. All deliveries must be dropped off and picked up the same day as your event.

Insurance: Please note that in order to rent space within the Katzen Arts Center, all rentals must acquire commercial general liability insurance. This insurance must include a minimum of $2,000,000.00 general aggregate and $2,000,000.00 each occurrence. The certificate of insurance must have American University listed as an additional certificate holder for the date(s) contracted.

Weddings, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs & other Private Receptions: Because the Katzen Arts Center is home to AU鈥檚 Departments of Performing & Visual Arts, we can only host weddings & private receptions during our non-academic summer months (including late May through mid-August). We must give scheduling priority to AU campus organizations; which means, we cannot book summer dates to external clients until January prior to the following summer. For example, if you would like to hold your event on 5/31/2026听in the Katzen Arts Center, we could not reserve the space for you until January 2026鈥攗ntil then there is no guarantee of availability, but we are happy to show you the space and discuss pricing prior to that time.

Ticketing Services: Please inquire if your event requires ticketing services, including open box office hours for your event.

Event Staff: Staff time and requirements for all events is at the discretion of the Katzen Arts Center.
