Both the RAA and scenic Rockport provide many beautiful settings for your event photography.


Catering Responsibilities & Provisions

The caterer is responsible for set-up, clean-up and dismantling of all tables and chairs and removal of trash after the event. Our kitchen is available for use by the caterer, and includes a small gas stove, household sized refrigerator, double sink with disposal and counter and table space. We can also accommodate a convection oven or one microwave. If your caterer has not catered an event at the RAA, it is required that he or she visit the facility prior to the event. Please be careful not to overload the electrical service – these are historic old buildings.


Liquor Liability License

It is the responsibility of the caterer, bartender or person renting the galleries to provide liquor liability insurance. A Certificate of Insurance must be provided to the RAA 30 days prior to your event. The Town of Rockport requires that no liquor may be served after 11pm, and no bar service after 10:30.


Smoking

Local fire ordinances do not permit smoking or the use of candles or open flames in any of the buildings. Guests may smoke in the courtyard that connects the buildings.
