Rules:
We will always have someone on staff that knows the ins and outs of the facility, thus helping Locations or anyone else in the production solve any problems that might arise.
We will have the facility cleaned before guests arrive, and our own clean-up crew afterwards, but please be kind enough to follow any basic etiquette as far as not making huge messes. Please refrain from using or leaving any liquids near any electrical equipment, any failure to do so will cost you any damage fees.
Food and beverages are allowed in the facility as long as everyone cleans up after themselves in a timely and efficient manner. Like stated before, please keep all liquids and beverages away from any electrical monitor or equipment.
Alcohol is not to be consumed by staff or crew members during any work hours in our facility. We do have 2 bars on either side of the venue, so alcohol assumption is allowed within the facility but again, not for staff or crew during work hours please.
If all of these rules are as followed, I don't see anything that could go wrong here. Our facility is open to anyone who needs it, just contact us and we'll go from there!
Booking:
Please contact John at 7187876108 for all booking inquiries. Once dates are set, we will have an in-person meeting to discuss rates per hour, insurance, go over any and all contracts, have the walk-through, etc.
Hope to do business with you very soon!
