Specific setup and breakdown times are not detailed in standard packages, but the venue mentions that early setup would be a necessity for larger events. Clients should discuss technical setup requirements and access times during the booking process.

While the venue provides comprehensive in-house catering and basic AV, the space is designed for experiential marketing and brand activations which typically require external suppliers. Vendor approval processes and restrictions would need to be confirmed during booking discussions.
