Food & Drink, Done Right
You’ll choose from our reception-style menu (tray-passed bites, grazing boards, and stations). Behind the bar, we build a hosted-on-consumption program around your preferences and budget—including spirit guidelines (e.g., exclude ultra-premium SKUs), drink tickets, or time-boxed open bar segments if desired.
Pro move: Start with a welcome cocktail + light tray pass to spark arrival moments, then transition to heavier bites as the room fills.
AV & Music
Plug into our house sound with Bluetooth or XLR and keep the vibe exactly where you want it. We do not allow outside speakers; this protects the guest experience in the main room and ensures balanced sound throughout the venue. You’re welcome to bring a DJ who can connect to our system, or we can pipe in EO’s curated playlists.
How Pricing Works
We keep it simple:
Food & Beverage Minimum: Varies by date, seasonality, and inquiry volume.
Bar: Hosted on consumption only (no cash bars).
Line-item transparency: We’ll provide a proposal that clearly shows food selections, estimated beverage spend, tax, gratuity, and any applicable fees before you sign.
