Common questions

What does a full-night buyout include?
The room from load-in to load-out — typically 12 hours — with house lighting and sound where listed. Overtime is quoted up front, not sprung on you.
Can we do a seated dinner?
Capacity on each listing shows both standing and seated numbers. For plated service, add a caterer from our vendor list to the same booking.
Is valet available?
Larger venues list valet or garage options in amenities; our vendor list covers valet crews for the ones that don't.
