Food & Beverage

Exclusive catering only
Exclusive beverage vendors only

One of the most important components of an event is the food! Dock 5 is a raw space without any equipment, so you want to collaborate with great vendor partners. We require you to work with one of our approved catering partners included in the list because they know our space like it’s their own backyard. We love when you include Union Market vendors as enhancements to your event, and we think you will love it too – ask us for more information on how to make that happen.

Technology

Exclusive A/V vendors only

We want your special day to be perfect. Dock 5 is a blank canvas, which allows your dream setup to come to life with support from a variety of vendors. We require you to work with a planner who can take care of all the details for you – from the floor plan to the flowers.

Transportation

While ride-sharing is the most common method used to get to the Union Market District, we have parking available for the drivers in your group. We currently offer two 24-hour outdoor parking lots that are free and operate on a first-come-firstserve basis. Our recently-added third option is an underground garage located beneath La Cosecha that offers paid parking spots

Storage

Please schedule all deliveries to arrive during your contracted rental window, when you can sign and accept them. We do not have a secure space for event materials to be stored either before or after your event. Dock 5 staff will not sign for any deliveries.

Cleaning and Trash Removal

For the restrooms, we’ve got you covered. Your rental includes a dedicated restroom attendant who will keep the spaces clean and restock paper products when needed. For the rest of the space, we ask that you treat it like your own home. We do not have trash bins, trash bags, or other cleaning materials that can be used during or after your event. Typically, your caterer will handle this piece. But not all events are the same, so we ask that you confirm your cleaning plan before you begin load-in
