Three Levels of Support

Just the Bones

For experienced producers who primarily need the space to host.

You provide the plan, vendors, event coordinator, front of house, and technical support. The Loov provides the space and required venue representation.

Add What You Need

For events that need targeted help without a full production package.

Add support such as sound and lighting, door and front-of-house staff, bar staff, load-in and breakdown, cleanup, and event coordination.

Full Service

For larger, louder, public, technical, ticketed, or alcohol-involved events.

The Loov helps determine and coordinate the required staffing, technical support, vendors, load-in, and event flow.
