Assume you owned a restaurant, and assume some Catholics asked you if they could have their wedding reception at your restaurant. They plan to have table centerpieces with statues of Jesus and his mom, and they plan to have a few statues of Jesus around the room.
Would you accept their request or refuse to provide the service they requested?
Firstly, people don't need to state their religion when renting a place, so why would I have to know. Secondly, the big issue wouldn't be what they do once they rented it out, but the kashrus of the kitchen, tables and the dishes. I could see a problem if christians would want to rent a place I own for the purposes of worship, rather than for a wedding party.

When they said they wanted to have statues of Jesus in the room and wanted to have small figures of Jesus and his mom on every table. you would probably figure they were Christians.
Since it is your restaurant, you would do the cooking, so they would probably not expect to be served food you would disapprove of.
So would you let them rent your restaurant for their party?
The first two responses are definitely a Yes, but the third person is Orthodox, so I am not sure how to interpret her response.
It is too bad that some people are afraid to give a clear Yes or No answer to a simple question.
Her answer is clear to me. The only issue would be if the patrons objected to being served a Kosher meal - and one doesn't need to be Jewish to enjoy a Kosher meal so what difference would it make?
Sorry that we failed to live up to your predictions.
If the restaurant is Kosher, then the food served would need to be Kosher and prepared by the staff of the restaurant (or oversaw by an outside kosher crew with a mashgiach.
Sure. I would be happy to. I would also be happy to host a Jewish or Hindu ceremony as well. It's all about being in business and your money is as good as anyone else's.
And I would do a wonderful job hoping you would tell all your friends to use my restaurant!
Put anything you want in the room as long as you remove it afterwards and it does no permanent damage.
