+ What are your Rates?
Our event rental rates start at $3300 for 6 hours and are slightly higher for peak season dates. Our production rate for filming/photo shoots is $350/hour with a 6 hour minimum.
All our events are completely custom so your food, sommelier services, florals, etc are additional and we are happy to work with your budget!
+ What is Included in Our Reservation?
The basic CDT rental includes use of the entire loft, including all of the kitchen gadgets, complimentary pantry items, house china, glasses, cookbooks, furniture, tealights, and of course, all of the clean up. An event manager will be on site if you need help finding something or have any questions. Event staffing is not included in the rental. Staffing is required for all events and is booked through our preferred staffing company. A minimum number of staff is determined by the type of event and number of guests.
+ How Long is a Reservation?
The base CDT rental includes 6 hours exclusive use of our entire space. This begins as soon as you, your guests or any of your deliveries arrive on site and ends when all your guests and their belonging leave. If you need more time, we can extend your reservation at an hourly rate.

We can accommodate 26 for a seated event and up to 40 for a more casual event.

Unfortunately we do not allow guests to cook in our kitchen with the exception of attending one of our excellent cooking classes. Trust us, you want a chef!
+ When Do We Have to Confirm The Number Of Guests?

Yes! please contact us about our production rates.
+ What kind of A/V do you have?
We have Verizon FiOS wifi and cable. You may use our TV as a presentation screen by hooking up a laptop via our HDMI connection.
+ Can I come take a tour of the loft?
Yes! Because we are an intimate space and hold only private events we are happy to schedule visits by appointment - drop ins can not be accommodated. We're looking forward to meeting you!
+ Do you host pop ups?
We unfortunately do not host ticketed and advertised pop up dinners. We only host private events that are not open to the public. If your ticketed pop up is sold to a closed guest list we are happy to consider it, however no event may be publicly advertised.
