The venue serves as a blank canvas space allowing full customization and theming. DJs, live music, photo booths, and 360 booths are permitted. The venue has expert theming and production partners to help execute creative visions, though all entertainment and décor arrangements must be coordinated through the events team.

The venue regularly declines enquiries that don't meet budget requirements, with staff stating they "will not be able to accommodate your budget" for events under their minimums. Budget flexibility is always asked about during initial enquiries, and alternative venue recommendations may be provided if OXO2 cannot accommodate the budget.
