- Reservations for a calendar year open on January 3 of that year, and the city asks for bookings at least seven business days in advance. Rentals run in two blocks, 10 a.m.–3 p.m. or 5–10 p.m., which is worth knowing before you set a ceremony time: an afternoon block ends before the best summer light.
