Property owners use standard rental agreements that are not open to general edits or revisions. Only specific details such as event hours, areas of use, and guest count may be modified upon request and mutual approval.

Liability and indemnity clauses cannot be edited under any circumstances, as they are required by property owners and their insurance providers.

Any increase must be approved in writing by EventHouseLA. Additional fees will apply as specified in the rental agreement.

Generally, events at our locations are private, guest-list-only events. If you are planning a ticketed event, we can request permission from the owner as long as it doesn't exceed the property's guest capacity.

For large-scale activations during Coachella or Stagecoach at one of our activation estates, ticket sales are permitted.
