If you plan to use our sound system, we prefer that you hire one of our approved audio technicians. Their fees vary depending on the individual and the complexity of your event, but the average fee is about $150 per night. You contract with them directly, and we do not take a cut of their fee. While this adds some extra expense, it saves you the potential cost of having to replace or repair equipment that is damaged during your event; if our technician breaks something, you are not responsible. If you prefer to hire someone who is not on our tech list, they will need to come in a week or two before your show for a walk-through of the system.

PIANO: Steinway Model M. If you want the piano tuned, it is your responsibility to coordinate with our Operations Director and pay for that. You can hire your own tuner, or we can recommend one.

MUSIC STANDS: We usually have about 4-5 Manhassett music stands (they come and go), but no stand lights.

LIGHTING: Hall has dimmable wall sconces and two stages of dimmable overhead lighting. Stage Lights are a series (both Front and Back) Chauvet DJ EVE P-160 RGBW. Controlled via Mac Desktop and LightKey. Our lighting plot is set to a standard stage wash that works well for most shows. Renters may not make changes to our standard lighting plot, but can choose from color presets provided.
