Venue FAQS

How do you generally price corporate events?

Different than your typical hotel or personal event. For corporate functions, we have a minimum spend on food and drinks for use of the space. As long you hit your minimum spend there is no venue fee. If you don’t make the minimum spend with your guest count, say if you were having a small meeting of 40 people, then the venue fee would be the difference of what you don’t spend.

No, we could do only a venue fee if you do not need any catering and will just need maybe coffee, tea and snacks. Deity does not allow outside catering.
