02 / LAUNCH PRICING

Good occasions.
Clear starting prices.

Start with the room.
Build the event around you.

Launch pricing. Final quote depends on event requirements. Taxes, catering, staffing, valet, security, insurance, alcohol service, rentals and special production are not promised as included.

Your access hours are agreed before booking. Confirm the start and finish times, including vendor setup and removal, and any overtime or mandatory event charges in your written quote. A day rate does not promise 24-hour access.

A FRESH START, EVERY TIME

You bring the occasion.
We take care of the deep clean.

We deep-clean Lumen between every event, so each new party arrives to a space that is spic and span, beautiful and ready for their decorations, props and agreed setup. We provide trash bags and liners, basic cleaning supplies and the between-event deep clean as part of the venue rental.

Please help us finish on a good note: take your belongings, decorations, props, leftover food and vendor equipment with you, bag rubbish using the bags we provide, and leave the room as tidy as you reasonably can within your agreed access hours. A little care goes a long way toward the good relationships we value, and we would love to welcome you and your team back. You do not need to do the deep clean. That is our responsibility, every time.

Bring your chosen kitchen and bar staff, decorators and valet team. We confirm work areas, usable kitchen equipment and access arrangements with you before booking. You arrange these vendor services.

FOR EVENT PROFESSIONALS
