We may do a lower rate of $1500 for the night depending on how much setup is involved and if there are 50 people or less for the event and if the event is not a wedding then our fee is $1500. We are artists and local New Orleanians so we prefer to negotiate price based on what you're bringing on site, how long you need to space open to you etc. **much much less to rent for the day as opposed to the night rental & much much less if it's for an art class, non-profit event or meeting or group meeting that is not a catered event.
