What is the difference between the second and third floor?
The third floor event space is a large reception space with a wonderful view of the city. The space is also urban loft style with exposed piping and hardwood floors, dimmable sectioned lighting and garage-door-style windows which are able to open completely; weather permitting. The third floor is best for groups of 100 or more guests. Our second floor event space is located just down the hall from the Cashew’s second floor bar. This space has tall loft style ceilings with exposed piping and concrete floors. This room also has the garage-door-style windows identical to those on the third floor. The second floor is typically set with tall cocktail tables, but lower tables can be brought in for sit-down dinners. This room is best for groups with less than 100 guests.
What is the required deposit amount?
A $250 deposit is required for the third floor and a $100 deposit is required for the second. Your initial deposit is applied towards your final bill.
