Frequently Asked Questions

Events with a bar of any kind are required to select a Nyc Photoshoot Studio bar package. If you prefer to provide your own bar service, a buyout fee of $8 per person applies, and proof of a valid liquor license must be submitted at least 7 days prior to the event. However, for events held in the 4th Floor Warehouse, no buyout fee is required, and clients may provide their own bar as long as a valid liquor license is obtained.
2. Does my rental come with staff?
Check your contract for the number of staff included in your rental. The venue management team is responsible for opening and closing the venue, troubleshooting any issues with the building or amenities, guest check-in, and crowd management. At least one management personnel is required for all events at Nyc Photoshoot Studio, with additional staff added at the venue’s discretion based on the total guest count and type of event.
Bartenders are included only for Nyc Photoshoot Studiobar packages at a ratio of 1 bartender per 50 guests. Events that purchase a bar buyout to bring their own bar must provide independent bar staff.
