Your team. Your production.
Lumen handles the property. The event agreement defines building access, a clean starting condition, maintenance, post-event housekeeping, venue rules and emergency arrangements. Your event professionals handle the celebration.
You coordinate your licensed caterer, planner, florist, DJ, photographer, decor, added lighting, valet or transportation, alcohol service, event insurance, security where required, setup, teardown, cleanup and vendor coordination.
Confirm utilities, access, operating requirements and any kitchen use before committing vendors. Wi-Fi and active electricity are not advertised as guaranteed during the relaunch. Lumen does not provide event styling or lighting setup.
Please remove your belongings, decorations, food and vendor equipment; use the designated trash and recycling bins; and leave the space reasonably tidy. Setup and cleanup must fit within the agreed rental period. Additional requirements or charges will be disclosed in your agreement.
