What are the venue's alcohol and smoking policies for weddings?
The Rock Tower operates as a strict no-alcohol and no-smoking venue. This policy applies to all areas of the building and all events, including weddings. Couples planning celebrations that require alcohol service will need to find alternative venues, as this restriction cannot be waived.

Are there restrictions on entertainment and external vendors for weddings?
You can bring your own entertainment to the venue, which is suitable for wedding bands, DJs, or other performers.
