OUR LOCATIONS
Our locations are primarily first and foremost private homes or private spaces, so any event hosted within them needs to respect that fact.
We have some key guidelines below on running events in our spaces:
1. PROFESSIONAL EVENT MANAGEMENT REQUIRED
All events must be coordinated and overseen by a professional event management company or PR agency. Private, unmanaged gatherings are not permitted.
2. CAPACITY RESTRICTIONS
As the majority of our properties are residential, capacities are limited and will be confirmed per property. Event managers are responsible for ensuring numbers do not exceed the agreed capacity.
3. LIABILITY & LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY
The event management company or PR agency is solely responsible for the safety and conduct of all guests, staff and contractors. Homeowners must not be held liable for incidents, accidents, or damages that occur during an event. The event coordinator is responsible for securing all necessary insurances, licenses and permits required by law. Any events with children in attendance must be pre-approved by the homeowner and the event manager is responsible for adequate permissions, licenses, insurances and chaperones to comply to local law.
4. ALCOHOL & BEVERAGES
If permitted by the owner in advance, alcohol service must be kept minimal and well-managed. Red wine is not permitted inside the properties. The event manager is responsible for controlling consumption and ensuring responsible service.
5. FOOD & CATERING
Food and drink may be served and prepped on-site, but no cooking is permitted in the property kitchens. All catering must be done via professional suppliers and must follow health and safety standards. Any catering setup that needs extensive power must be arranged in advance and come with it’s own generator.
6. INTERIOR CARE
All interior finishes, furniture, and surfaces must be treated with utmost caution. Protective measures (such as coverings, mats or guards) should be used wherever appropriate. Any damages will be charged back to the event company.
7. NOISE & NEIGHBOURS
Noise levels must be kept within reasonable limits in respect of local residents. Curfews may apply depending on the location — these will be agreed in advance. Any form of music or performance – DJ / bands / instrumentalists / dancers / acrobatics etc – must be approved in advance by the owner.
8. ACCESS & SETUP
Deliveries, load-ins and breakdowns must be scheduled to minimize disruption to the neighborhood and owner’s time. The event manager is responsible for supervising all
vendors and contractors as well as being on site to sign for any deliveries. Please factor in what setup days/times you need in order for us to quote correctly.
9. CLEAN UP & WASTE
All waste must be removed from the property by the event company immediately after the event. The property must be left in the same condition as found. Please factor in what clean up days/times you need in order for us to quote correctly.
10. ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS
Smoking and vaping is not permitted on the property internally or externally including externally on public path where there are neighbouring properties. Open flames, fireworks, or hazardous materials are strictly prohibited. Any unusual or high-risk installations must be pre-approved.
