Rental fees remain the same whether you hold a ceremony only, reception only, or ceremony and reception. Our prices do not change based on number of guests or length of time guests are on-site.

floor plans
Floorplans and logistics typically begin 12-8 weeks prior to your event and are finalized no later than 2 weeks before your event. Non-standard floorplans may require additional time. Your Neu Neu team can provide floor plan options based on your guest count and events you plan to have occur on site, like ceremony/dancing. Additiaon fees may apply for set-up support or room flip. The facility is delivered "as-is" with one floorplan and clients are responsible for all set up unless a room flip fee has been paid.
site visits
The Neu Neu is available during select times for site visits and meetings regarding your event rental. We strongly recommend scheduling a walk through with your day-ofcoordinator during the planning process. We also encourage you to attend our events or an open house so you can see how an event flows in the space while you consider logistics. Or you can schedule a visit online.
