What’s the incidental fee for?
Incidental fee is what Highlife does in lieu of a hefty security deposit. Very often we have small charges that cleaners and maintenance back to charge to us. Usually a small amount, but it does add up. To avoid that awkward conversation for a small amount we charge an incidental fee. Makes it easier for both of us. We found clients are happier. Please keep in mind this still requires you to follow the simple wrap up instructions. Also this does not cover any damages, excessive cleaning, or smoke ventilation.
Can I hang decor on the grass wall?
Absolutely! We want you to customize your event and make the studio perfect for you. We ask that you do not hang anything heavy to avoid possible damages. The grass wall has built in hooks and rods to hang your drapery. Pictures, flowers, balloons and decor are commonly displayed on the grass wall.
Do you have a preferred vendors list?
Sorta-kinda. We have fantastic vendors that we have seen work first-hand and we feel are truly amazing at their craft. BUT if you have a company that you would prefer to work with, that is perfectly fine! Just be sure to share their contact info. Visit the “About HighLife’ tab at the top of the page to view the whole list.
