FAQ
-
CHI Gallery is a hidden gem nestled between OKC’s Aurora and Las Vegas neighborhoods. With residential apartments located above both of our spaces, we prioritize being good neighbors by limiting the number of large events each month. For this reason also, excessively loud gatherings will not be considered.
Both of our versatile spaces are ideal for private gatherings, corporate events, workshops, intimate performances, and so much more. Each side accommodates up to 50 guests, or a total of 100 when renting both spaces together. If you have a unique event idea, we’d love to hear about it!
At this time, we are not booking individual or group art exhibitions.
-
A personal tour is required before booking to ensure our space is the right fit for your event. To secure your date, a 50% deposit is required, with the remaining balance due 45 days before the event. Additionally, a credit card must be kept on file for incidentals.
-
Both of our spaces are fully furnished. Standard rental includes access to one or both of the spaces, one or both outdoor patios, additional seating, additional tables, bluetooth speakers and premiere lighting. Additional amenities such as A/V equipment, help with slide shows, custom setups, or staffing may be available for an extra fee.
-
Our space features a charming collection of vintage vignettes along with tables and chairs. As arranged, each side comfortably accommodates 50 guests, or 100 if both spaces are rented.
If your event requires the removal of existing furniture to create a specific setup, such as a fully seated dinner, an additional fee will apply.
-
We do not. However, you are free to choose any outside caterers, bartending service or vendors of your choice. We can provide a list of trusted caterers and/or bartending services upon request.
All vendors must arrive during your contracted rental time. It is your responsibility to coordinate this with them unless you have opted for additional planning services.
-
Yes. Depending on the size of your event, there will always be at least one attendant on site. For larger events, security may be required at an additional charge.
-
You may bring your own beer and wine without the need for a licensed bartending service; however, all events serving alcohol require Event Insurance. The cost typically ranges from $65-$150, depending on the specifics of your event. Insurance rates are determined by the provider, not by us, but the process is simple and handled online. Just use this link: http://www.theeventhelper.com
If you plan to serve mixed drinks, you must hire an ABLE-licensed and insured bartending company (not an individual holding an ABLE license). Some catering companies offer both food and beverage service, and we can provide a list of recommendations to help you get started!
If you're using a licensed and insured catering or bartending service, their liability insurance may cover your event. Please email proof of insurance to corrie@chi-okc.com at least 21 days prior to your event. This ensures the protection of you, your guests, and us—it’s definitely worth it! Failure to provide proof of insurance will result in cancellation without a refund.
-
Our parking lot space is limited. If you're familiar with the Plaza District, you know what to expect. We have approximately 20 spaces available in our lot, and the rest is street parking. There's an elementary school just a block away, for guests willing and able to walk over. We highly recommend encouraging your guests to carpool or ride-share to make things easier.
-
More than 45 days before the event: The full deposit is non-refundable. However, 50% of the down payment and 100% of the cleaning/security deposit will be refunded.
45 days or less before the event: No rental payment will be refunded, but 100% of the cleaning/security deposit will be refunded.
As a boutique event space, we rely on scheduled bookings, and cancellations within 45 days make it difficult to fill the space with another event. We appreciate your understanding and support of our policies.
-
All setup and takedown must be completed within your reserved time. Please plan accordingly, as exceeding your scheduled time will result in additional charges.
Event hosts are responsible for setup and cleanup unless arrangements have been made for our team to handle it. Please allow time before and after your event for these tasks.
