09.
Can I set-up in advance?
Access begins at the start time listed in your agreement. Please plan for setup, celebration, and a graceful wrap-up within your reserved hours.
10.
Are candles, confetti, or sparklers allowed?
To keep The Mez glowing for generations to come, open flames, confetti, glitter, rice, and sparklers aren’t permitted. Let’s save the sparkle for your smiles—LED candles or contained flames are always welcome and create a beautifully warm ambiance.
11.
The Mez is so beautifully designed—do you offer design services for events as well?
We do! The Mez isn’t just a venue—it’s also a canvas for creative expression. Our team offers full-service design packages that cover everything from floral styling and tablescapes to layout planning and aesthetic direction. Whether you're envisioning subtle elegance or bold whimsy, we’re here to make your event feel personal and polished. Want custom touches that reflect your story? We’ve got you. Email “DESIGN” to dani@themeztoledo.com and let’s dream it up together!
12.
Do we need to hire an event planner?
While an event planner is not required, we highly recommend working with a full-service planner—or at minimum, a day-of planner—to ensure your celebration flows seamlessly. The Mez does not offer planning services or provide setup and teardown of personal décor, and having a dedicated planner allows you to fully enjoy your day while every detail is handled with care. We’re happy to share recommendations for talented planners in the Toledo area and believe this is one of the best investments you can make in your big day.
