House rules

Short list, honestly explained.

Most venue rule sheets read like a warning. Ours is short, and every line has a reason attached, because you deserve to know whether a rule is protecting the room or just protecting somebody's convenience.

Yes, absolutely

  • Outside vendors of any kind, at no extra fee. DJ, photographer, planner, decorator, baker.
  • Your own cake, with no cutting fee.
  • Ticketed events, with prior approval.
  • Moving the furniture around to suit your layout.
  • Live music, DJs and bands, indoors, until midnight.
  • Candles in enclosed holders.
  • Children, with an adult responsible for them.

No, and here is why

Glitter, of any kind, anywhere
It never comes out of the drape. This is the one we are strictest about.
Confetti and powder-filled balloons
Same reason. Balloon garlands and arches are welcome.
Tape, nails or adhesive on floors or walls
Ask us where to hang something and we will show you the rigging points.
Hookah, smoke machines and open flame
Fire code. Cold sparks are available as an add-on and are approved.
Outside alcohol
Bar service runs under our licence with licensed, insured bartenders. Guests bringing their own puts that licence at risk.
Events of a sexual nature
Not the room for it.

The practical bits

Load-in and load-out
Your vendors load in during your rental window. We cannot store items before or sign for deliveries on your behalf. Everything goes home the same night unless arranged in writing.
End time
Midnight. Extensions to 1 AM are $150 an hour and must be arranged in advance, not on the night.
Noise
All music indoors. We sit near residential streets and we intend to stay good neighbours.
Damage deposit
$300, refundable within seven business days. Broken rules come out of it, starting with a $250 cleanup charge for glitter or confetti.
Security
Required for ticketed events and any event serving alcohol past 10 PM with more than 100 guests. We can provide licensed guards at $350 for six hours.
Smoking
Outside only, in the designated area.
