Toronto Photo Studio & Event Space

PROHIBITED ITEMS
Unless otherwise stated, the following are prohibited in our entire studio space (and most likely also in the common areas outside of our unit as well). Kindly read this list carefully, to avoid incurring various clean up or restoration fees.

If you have ANY questions or concerns about whether something is OK or not, kindly call Management to verify. If Management cannot answer your call, it’s best to assume that the answer is “no" until Management states otherwise. Falsely assuming the answer is yes, may lead you to incurring unwanted fees.

For your safety, and the security of the studio, please:
-Keep the studio door closed, at all times.
-Lock up any Equipment and lighting gear back up after you are finished your rental, unless otherwise specified in writing by Management.
-Do not allow any strangers inside the studio without requesting identification from them. If they claim to be the next renter, have them open the door with their own pin code. If they cannot open the door on their own, they are not allowed in.
-Ensure that the studio door is fully closed before you leave. It automatically locks once it is fully closed. (Renter is exclusively liable for full damages incurred as a result of infraction)
-No going in any upstairs area of the studio without Management’s prior written permission.

To keep our air quality high, especially for those with compromised breathing and for as long as COVID-19 is an issue, we ask you to observe the following.

-No haze nor fog machines of any kind. ($500.00 CAD fee for infraction)
-No smoke bombs, especially none with pigments. ($10,000.00 CAD fee for infraction)
-No smoking nor vaping of any kind. ($500.00 CAD fee for infraction)
-No drugs or drug use of any kind. ($500.00 CAD fee for infraction)

To keep our curtains, furniture, walls, and floors clean, we ask that you avoid the following, as they are a concern for stains and/or are extremely difficult to clean. Fees for infractions vary depending on the level of damage caused.

-No dies in any form, including but not limited to powders or liquids
-No body/baby/glamour/sprayable oils
-No body shimmers
-No glitters
-No beverages outside of the kitchen area

STANDARDS OF CARE AT THAT TORONTO STUDIO
We don’t automatically charge you a cleaning fee. Cleaning fees are optional during the checkout process. Therefore, in order to keep the space looking presentable for the next client after you, in addition to avoiding needing to pay the cleaning fee, we kindly ask that you:

-Kindly wear only clean, indoor shoes inside of the studio. No shoes allowed in Blanca Room.
-Please move all furniture and items back to the way in which they are arranged in the photos on our website. Place the couch, ottoman, all stools, tables, plants back where they belong.
-Only touch furniture, curtains, and Equipment with clean hands
-Do not attempt to move any of the mirrors, nor the makeup vanity (they’re all bolted to the walls)
-Do not move any plants or garlands which are not situated on the floor. Do not water plants, as they are all fake.
-Kindly ensure that the washroom/changeroom is free of any debris, and that all litter is placed in the garbage bin.
-If anything appears out of place, kindly put it back or if it is rubbish, please remove it.
-If trash bin is overflowing, kindly remove bag when you leave. The dumpster is in the alleyway.
-If you used seamless paper backgrounds, kindly cut off the used portion and throw it out before you leave.
If anything is damaged, please send us a picture as soon as you discover it, and before you use it.
-No events which are open to the general public. All events must have a clear guest list.
-No DJ’s, or bringing your own speakers inside THAT Toronto Studio.
-Minimum age to book is 25 years old. If you need an exception to this, please call us.

We do NOT charge a cleaning fee because we expect YOU to leave the space spotless and in rentable condition for the next guest. Failure to leave the studio in as clean or cleaner condition than in which it was left for you will result in a $250+tax cleaning fee, and with a punitive charge if it was deemed that you treated the space with negligence and a spirit of disrespect.

SECURITY
Because we are in a mixed use commercial & residential building, our building management has required us to provide security for large events due to issues with past events being excessively noisy, messy, and disrespectful. For this reason, if you're planning to throw a massive "rager" type party, we suggest looking elsewhere, as our events are reserved for tame and mature purposes only. Uses include but are not limited to private intimate functions like baby showers, mixers, cocktails, small receptions, birthdays, etc., and these must be private events and not open to the general public.
