Add-ons
Questions
How much does it cost to rent Half Note for a photoshoot?
The room is priced hourly for the whole 2,900 sq ft floor, and the rate depends on the day and the time of day. Send your date, rough headcount and the hours you need, and we will come back with a quote.
Is there a minimum booking?
Yes — 3 hours. Longer bookings work out better per hour, so tell us the full span you need when you enquire.
How do we get equipment in?
Two garage doors open straight onto the floor, so gear, furniture and decor can be loaded in directly.
Can we book late at night?
The room is bookable from 8:00am to 2:00am, seven days a week. 2:00am is the hard close, so plan tear-down to finish before then. Bookings outside those hours need to be confirmed by email first.
Is furniture included?
The studio comes with catering equipment and essential furniture, so the basics don't need to be rented separately.
