Welcome! You have chosen a space that is truly unique, designed by legendary architect Paul Rudolph. It is our goal to see that you and your guests have a memorable experience in our one-of-a-kind space. Please note how to select the type of booking (media productions/meetings/events): 1. If you're looking for a space for photo or video recording with a production crew of 1-15 people max onsite; no food and no alcohol - then 'media productions' is right for you. 2. if you're looking for a space for a business meeting, business retreat, business presentation for 1-25 people max at a time; some light food and no alcohol - then 'meetings' is right for you. 3. If you're looking for a space for over 25 people, catering (or food servers), music/dancing, alcohol (provided there's a licensed person serving) - then 'events' is right for you. If you have questions about the above - feel free to ask. GENERAL POLICIES • The Client agrees to abide by all NYC Fire Department regulations. • No subletting or sharing of the space to or with any other company. • Please notify us of any changes (in the number of guests, or any other factors) at least 48 hours before the start of your booking. • Smoking is not permitted in the building, nor in front of it. • Glitter, sparklers or confetti is not allowed. Wall-safe tape only is permitted. • No bicycles are allowed in the space • No animals (with the exception of licensed service animals) are allowed in the space. • All guests must coordinate with our venue manager on-site. Our event manager has the right to end all bookings immediately if rules are not followed. • Photography is allowed (and we encourage posting on social media!). • If you want a representative of the Paul Rudolph Heritage Foundation to address your guests about the building’s history and its famous architect, please talk to us, and we can usually arrange to do so. • Children must be accompanied and watched at all times, with no exceptions. Children find our space intriguing, with the art objects and all of the mysterious nooks and crannies throughout the space. Prior to coming, explain that while we want them to love the place, they will not be able to touch anything. • We strongly recommend that prospective renters make a "scouting trip" here and meet with us: That way, they can understand the capacities and possibilities of our space and can discuss their needs with us. • Please refer to Peerspace’s Terms and Conditions for all other rules. GUESTS & SECURITY • In order to prepare for your event, the number of guests should not exceed the number listed when we accepted your booking. • For security purposes, we ask that you email us only the names of your guests (NOT their contact information). Please send us the names four days before your event, and then email us a final list 24 hours before your event begins. Your guest list will remain completely confidential and the list is for security purposes only. • We require that you provide staff to be at the front door throughout the event, to check people in and watch their coats and possessions. The front door must be watched at all times and security maintained. The front door must stay closed and we do not allow an open-house. • A walk-through is required after every booking with our on-site team member. SETUP AND BREAKDOWN • Rental hours are billed from beginning of set-up to end of clean-up. The booking time starts running when people enter the space. • Please plan enough time for setting up before your guests arrive. From our experience, you may need at least 1-1/2 hours to prepare the space for your event, and that much time for clean-up afterward. • Please arrange that all table leavings, open beverages, and their related products are put into heavyweight, sealable trash bags after your event. Your caterer (or your staff) should be happy to do this for you, but please leave ample time for your caterer to accomplish this. We will direct you where to put the trash. • If you need a professional team to set-up and break-down for your event, we can pre-order it for you for $450. • We supply recycle bags for glass, metals and plastics. • If the space is not left clean, there is a $200 cleaning fee. It doesn't have to be immaculate, but you must at least sweep and wipe down the counters and tables, and not leave any food, bottles, plates, or cups behind. • If it turns that you use additional time for your Event, or for setting up or cleanup afterwards, that time will be billed automatically through Peerspace as Overtime. Overtime will be billed in half-hour increments at a rate of 1.5 times our stated hourly rate, unless it is requested prior to the event. FURNITURE & EQUIPMENT • Furniture and all provided equipment should be treated with care. • Please ask for assistance to move any furniture, turn on or change air conditioners, or operate equipment. • Sometimes we are asked if we can move our furniture or art to accommodate their event: please discuss your needs with us in advance. This may be possible, depending on the item and circumstance. The amount of time it takes for this accommodation and then the time it takes to return everything after your event will be figured at the normal hourly event rate and billed automatically through Peerspace as Additional Services. DELIVERIES • Notify us about all delivery and pick-up times before the event, so we can make sure someone is on-site to receive them. We allow delivery all during the day of the event, for no charge for most events---but we must be notified in advance. (You can request a delivery window at least 48 hours prior to booking time for an additional fee). • We do not have parking or a loading dock. Commercial parking is available in this area. CATERING & ALCOHOL • Catered events are welcome. Due to NY and NYC regulations, caterers must be for food service only (not alcohol service). If alcohol is served it must be from a separate vendor (i.e. licensed bartender). Exceptions require prior permission by us for caterers who list our event space as additionally insured on their general and liquor liability insurance policy. • For catering, we work with anyone who is permitted to cater in New York City, but we do not permit cooking, frying, or foods (or food preparation) that would cause excessive smoke or odors as their is no kitchen or ventilation onsite. • Alcohol can be served to your guests who are at least 21 years of age. For everyone’s sake, we require that you hire a professional [with certification] bartender to serve it. For the comfort and safety of your guests, we require that you also serve food if you plan to serve alcohol. Without exception, alcohol cannot be sold in our space. • We require hosts have all of their alcohol arrive at the same time, rather than guests bring their own. That ensures both you and your bartender know how much alcohol will be offered during your event and can plan accordingly. • There are a number of suppliers of food, ice, party supplies, etc. in the neighborhood, and we can provide you with a list which some have found useful - but is up to you to decide whether you want to utilize any of them. MUSIC AND A/V • We have a large SmartTV which is connected to the WIFI system in the space. • WIFI is available in the space and is dedicated to the event space. • Extremely loud music is not allowed. Guests are expected to be respectful of our neighbors and keep reasonable noise levels at all times during the event. At 10:00 PM, speakers need to be turned off so as to allow enough time for guests to leave and cleaning. • We do not book past 11:00 pm and we do not allow DJ’s with subwoofers, as there are residential units nearby and in the building. • Music is not allowed to be played on the roof. INSURANCE • Depending on the size of your event, we may require that you have event insurance. Event insurance is easily obtained and can be inexpensive. • Peerspace can help you get a single-event policy. They can be reached at [email protected]
