FAQs

How does booking work?

Start by submitting your event details through the website. Our team usually is able to respond to all initial inquiries within 24 hours. We’ll ask a few followup questions, give you a price estimate, and send you a calendar link to set up a tour of the space at a time of your convenience. If you love it, we’ll send over contracts. Once you have signed and submitted the first 50% of your payment, the date is yours!
