  • Tax, insurance, damage-deposit, and any event-specific permit/security costs.

Before you schedule a tour

Ask for a written proposal tied to your date, guest count, rooms, access window, required vendors, staffing, rentals, service charges, taxes, deposits, cancellation terms, and overtime. A public starting figure is not an all-in total.

Use this as a starting point: public information can change and is not an availability check or personalized quote. Confirm the date, guest count, package, mandatory charges, and tax treatment directly.
