Why it works for AV
We haven't confirmed the AV policy here — it's the first question to ask.

Before you call

Straight answers

01 Can I bring my own AV or production company to The Fort?

We haven't confirmed The Fort's outside-AV policy yet. Ask the venue directly, and ask specifically whether outside production carries a fee or a mandate.

02 Can I bring my own caterer to The Fort?

No — catering at The Fort is in-house only. In-house; known for Western game menus.

03 How many guests does The Fort hold?

The Fort has not published a capacity figure we can verify — ask the venue for current numbers rather than trusting an estimate.
