​

Can I hire a DJ or Band?

Yes. DJ's and Bands should bring their own audio equipment. As we are a private event showroom and not a club, music should be at reasonable volumes for a loft-like open room. DJs/Bands should be mindful to not damage the venue floor with their equipment. 

​

We do not allow drop offs or rental deliveries an hour early. Please notify your Client regarding how much setup and breakdown time you require so that they can book appropriately.
