What additional costs should I budget beyond the minimum spend?
All events incur a mandatory 14.5% discretionary service charge on food and beverage consumption. AV equipment and any third-party suppliers (flowers, entertainment, etc.) are additional costs on top of the minimum spend. These charges are not included in the minimum spend calculation.
What AV equipment is available and how much does it cost?
The venue can provide screens, microphones, and presentation equipment, with additional screens recommended for larger rooms like The Tapestry to ensure visibility from the back. AV costs are additional to the minimum spend, but specific pricing for equipment is not provided in standard quotes and must be requested separately.
Can events run past midnight or extend their hours?

Are there restrictions on guest numbers or event types?
The venue cannot accommodate events requiring more than 150 guests in theatre style or 120 guests on round tables. For awards ceremonies or events where everyone faces a screen/stage, maximum capacity drops to 80 guests. The venue prioritizes multi-day events with group accommodation on certain dates, limiting single-day event availability.
How far in advance should I book and what is the hold policy?
The venue offers a 5-day optional hold upon request while you make your decision. Spaces are not automatically held during the quote process. For popular dates, especially during peak seasons, booking well in advance is recommended as availability can be limited.
