Function Rentals
Rent
We have rental spaces available year-round for your events, including indoor spaces for all seasons and an outdoor Pavilion, available during times of the year when weather permits. Our function hall seats approximately 70 guests and is perfect for birthday parties, graduation parties, showers, family or high school reunions, fundraisers, and more. A bartender is available for an additional $50 fee.
Please call us at (603) 635-8345 or email us at pelhampost100@gmail.com with questions or to reserve your date.
Completion of a rental contract is required to hold your event date. A minimum downpayment of $100 is due at the time of booking, with the balance due 30 days before your event.
Note: Members are required to show their membership card at the time of rental to receive discounted pricing. Non-members are welcome to rent our spaces as well. Mercy dinner bookings are also available—ask us for more details!

Function Rental Agreement
How do Deposits Work?
For all events, a deposit of $100.00 shall be made at the time of signing the contract. Any remaining balance is due in full no later than 30 days prior to the event. A security deposit of $50.00 is also required and will be refunded within ten (10) business days after the event has concluded, provided the property is clean and all Post property is accounted for and has not sustained any damage.
What is the Cancellation Policy?
This agreement must be canceled thirty (30) days* prior to the function, or the deposit will be forfeited.
Note: If, for reasons beyond control—such as weather, fire, power failure, or acts of God—the American Legion is unable to perform its obligations, then such non-performance is excused, with no other liability, upon return of the deposit.
Can I hire a Caterer?
Outside caterers will not be permitted to use the kitchen area for food preparation (due to insurance purposes). Absolutely no alcohol or beverages may be brought onto or into Post premises/property.
What are the Safety Rules?
No drugs, weapons, firearms, or fireworks are allowed on Post property. Emergency exits must be kept clear at all times.
Note: The outdoor fire pit is not to be used for any rental event. Please keep children away, and do not allow rock throwing.
What are the Service Fees?
The bartender rate is $50.00 and is optional for your event (not included in the rental cost).
What are the Conduct and Damages Rules?
The host is responsible for the conduct of all guests in attendance and for any damages, destruction, or loss of property incurred by the Post or its guests caused by individuals associated with or representing the group’s organization. In addition, the Post shall be exempt from any claims made by any party for property damages, injuries, or theft of personal property received or sustained while on the premises. The Post may also require the renter to provide a police detail (renter’s responsibility).
Is Smoking Allowed?
We are a non-smoking hall. Smoking is allowed outside the premises. Alcoholic beverages are not to be brought outside.
Is Decorating Allowed?
Decorating the rental area prior to the event shall be discussed, and arrangements will be made to let you into the premises. Decorations are not to be taped to the walls or on electronic devices in the function hall.
