Pricing & deposits
Rates depend on day, time, and how much of the space you need. Weekday evenings typically run lower than weekend nights. We generally ask for a modest deposit to hold the date and either a minimum spend or a flat room fee for larger bookings. We’ll outline all costs in a simple proposal so there are no surprises.
Booking process — quick and painless
- Tell us the date, approximate headcount, and the kind of vibe you want.
- We’ll check availability and send a short proposal with options and pricing.
- Confirm and place a deposit to lock the date.
- We’ll confirm final details a few days out and handle setup & cleanup the day of.
FAQ
- Can I bring outside vendors? Usually yes — cake, specialty caterers, and decorators are fine with prior notice so we can coordinate timing.
- Can I have live music or a DJ? Small live acts are welcome; we ask that you discuss load‑in times and volume so we can be good neighbors.
- What about accessibility? We have accessible entry and restrooms; tell us about any special needs when booking and we’ll accommodate.
- Cancellation? Deposit terms are outlined in the proposal; we’ll work with you on rescheduling where possible.
