You handle light cleaning; we handle the deep cleaning.
Need extra time? Give us one hour’s notice.

Light decor is welcome. For larger installations or major decor, contact us first. Everything must be removed after your event.
Bring your own lighting as long as it doesn’t need hardwiring.
Tables and chairs can be moved but must be reset afterward. The artwork stays in place.

Permits and insurance are due one week ahead.
