Your Rickhouse Rental
The standard event rental at The Rickhouse is composed of four hours of vendor access and setup, five hours for the event (including guest arrival), and one hour of breakdown and clean up. For an additional fee, time may be added to your rental for vendor access and/or the event itself. Please contact your event lead via your HoneyBook portal to explore these options. Please note that additional fees will occur in the event breakdown and cleanup extends past the designated breakdown/clean up hour.
