Taxes & fees: Each hour of event time beyond the six included is $1,000, and every event must end by midnight. AV and lighting services carry additional fees. A union electrician is needed only if your event requires added power, and the fee depends on what is needed and how long the electrician is on site. A 20% deposit is due when the contract is signed.
