  • How does a minimum spend work?
    If you intend for your guests to purchase their own food and beverages, and their combined total doesn’t exceed the minimum spend for the booking, then you’ll be charged a food & beverage top up fee to cover the difference. If you exceed the minimum spend amount a food & beverage top up fee does not apply.

    For example, if your minimum spend is $2,500, and your guests purchase a combined $2,400 of food and beverages (before tax) then the event organizer would be responsible for a $100 food & beverage top up fee.

    Does the minimum spend include taxes and gratuity?
    No, minimum spends are based on a pre-tax amount and an 18% gratuity is applied for all bookings.

    Can I rearrange your furniture for my event?

    No, the layout of space is designed for enjoyment of the space, ease of service, and safety.

    Is there space for a live performance?
    Yes we can accommodate 2-4 live performers, please make sure to mention this to us so we can make the appropriate changes.
