we can provide you with an extensive list of our preferred vendors for all these services – please inquire with your

CAN YOU PUT A TENTATIVE HOLD ON MY DATE UNTIL I MAKE MY DECISION?We will gladly place a complimentary hold to our calendars on your desired date(s)/space(s) for a limited time.

If within that time, another client expresses interest in the same date, you have first right of refusal, at which point you

WHEN DO I PAY THE DEPOSIT?In all event spaces except the Fifth Floor of the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, written approval from the Music Center is

required before a signed contract and deposit can be accepted from the client. Once we have found an available date

for the space(s) you want, we will submit a request to the Music Center. Approval time can take as long as one to two

weeks, with the exception of the Fifth Floor. We request a deposit of 50% of your total contract amount to confirm

your event within 10 days of approval, to secure your date. The remaining balance is due in full, seven days prior to

your event date. The terms and conditions of your contract will explain in more detail.

generating food and beverage sales exceeding $10,000. Tastings are usually scheduled six to eight weeks prior to your

wedding. This is an opportunity to make menu selections, food presentation decisions, and any other food

recommendations prior to your wedding day. Unfortunately, hors d’oeuvres will not be available at the tasting

due to their labor intensity. Your Sales Manager will work with you on selecting the best items for your tasting.

WHAT TIME DOES MY EVENT NEED TO END?Your event may go as late as you would like; however, please keep in mind that many fees associated with your event

are billed on a per hour basis and may have extra costs when an event runs into “overtime” (i.e. labor, union, ushers,

CAN I USE CANDLES IN MY DÉCOR?A fire permit issued by the Los Angeles Fire Department must be acquired before the use of any candles at the

Music Center and Walt Disney Concert Hall. A sample of your candles and holders/centerpieces must be presented to

the Fire Marshall for a permit prior to your event. We must have a copy of your fire permit two days prior to your event,

as well as on site the day of your wedding.

ARE THERE ANY “HIDDEN” FEES?From the date of your initial inquiry, we do our best to provide accurate estimates for all fees (labor, room rental,

ushers, security, union, etc.) based on the details provided by the client; however, many of these fees are dependent

upon the duration and logistics of your event, and cannot be completed until a final walkthrough with the Music Center

Production Manager, and other key event personnel, has been conducted. It is important to schedule a walkthrough

with all of your vendors together in order to avoid any surprises the day of your event, which may result in an increase

of your fees. It is also best to communicate via email all details to your Sales Manager as soon as possible.
