In our vast experience in the event industry, we have found that it is stressful for both the event host and the vendors to try to complete everything in a smaller block than 6 hours. This doesn’t allow much time for the setup of personal items, and it adds undue stress. Because of this, we have competitively priced our time blocks so that you have a comfortable amount of time while still staying within your budget.

You are responsible for personal items brought into the venue, and for anything outside vendors have brought into the space.
