The Albany Carousel wants to make every event here a special and welcome experience. Therefore, every effort will be made to allow renter to prepare decorations reflecting their creative requirements. There is a designated banner strip to hang your banner over the cake table, and tabletop decorations are encouraged, otherwise no other decorations are allowed to hang from ceiling, walls, doors, or molding, except on glass.

Absolutely NO balloons, confetti balloons, glitter or confetti allowed in the building. Please ensure all your guests are aware of this! A $100 cleaning fee will be charged if found on premises.
