Policies

Full details are on studio rental agreement, provided for your review upon request. These are the highlights.

GENERAL:

  • Renter must be present and supervising all attendees at all times during the rental period

  • Renter must keep the session or event contained within the studio

  • Renter must clean up any excess trash or other items on premises prior to leaving

  • For recording sound, or creating excessive noise, it is recommended to book both studios, as otherwise, we cannot reject rentals in the other studio that may make noise, and your noise-making may be limited, to not interfere with another renter in the other studio.

  • It is expected the studio will be left in the condition it was in when renter arrived. If the studio requires additional cleaning, the renter will be required to pay a cleaning fee of usually $200, depending on how much cleaning there is.  This covers studio overtime, overtime for staff, and supplies.
