Two Banquet halls are available for rental on the water at Penfield Beach. Reservations may be made 1 year to the month from the date.

Penfield Reservations are done by a lottery system.  On the first business day of the month, those persons wishing to book an event for the next year will have their names chosen at random at
9:00 AM.  Please note, the person chosen in the lottery is responsible for the contract and payments for the Penfield Reservation.  A $200.00 deposit is due upon booking.  If a cancellation is made at least 60 days prior to the event half of the deposit will be returned.  Any cancellations made less than 60 days from the event date, the entire $200.00 deposit will be forfeited.  Proof of residency is required to receive resident fees. New for 2008 rentals: Any Evening party where alcohol is being served will require hiring a Fairfield Police Officer - $200.00 (4 hours)  Fees are subject to change.
