Frequently Asked Questions

  • What kinds of events do you host?

    We host all types of celebrations: weddings, corporate events, fundraisers, graduations, bar/bat mitzvahs, retirements, birthdays, etc. If you have something unique in mind, we’d love to talk about it.

  • Where are you located, and how do I arrange a tour?

    Champagne Haus is located in downtown Phoenix, inside the Lawrence Building (515 E. Grant Street). Tours are available by appointment only. You can schedule a tour here.

  • What are your venue’s hours / availability?

    We are available for events during the week and all weekend. Event timing (setup, event, teardown) can be customized based on your needs and package.

  • What is the size and capacity of Champagne Haus?

    Our facility is 8,600 square feet, which includes a large outdoor patio (ideal for Arizona winters), plus spacious indoor areas. Capacity depends on how you set things up (seated dinner, cocktail format, ceremony + reception). We’ll work with you to determine which layout works best.

  • How is parking handled?

    We have a large on-site parking lot with a security gate, setting us apart from other downtown venues. No need to depend solely on street parking or hard-to-get valet. Our parking lot is large enough to accommodate food trucks, a popular option for celebrations of all types.

  • What kind of prep and glam rooms do you have?

    Our luxury glam rooms are spacious and comfortable, designed for the guest of honor or celebrant (bride/groom, party goers etc). You can relax, get ready, and glam up for your special event. Glam rooms include lounge area, mirrors, vanity, special make-up lighting, and beverage center/refrigerators.

  • Do you offer packages? What is included?

    Yes, we offer multiple event packages (pricing based off headcount for the event). All packages include venue rental, tables/chairs, haus black/white linens, lighting, AV and haus decor (e.g. in-haus centerpieces, lounge furniture etc). Many add-ons are available. Services are customizable: If you don’t see exactly what you want in a package, we’ll create something that fits. Please see our Events & Packages page for more details.

  • Do you have in-haus catering or bartending?

    We partner with the best caterers and bartending services in Phoenix. You get the freedom to choose from a variety of vendors, and we will gladly coordinate with them to make your event memorable.

  • Is there a deposit? How is payment handled?

    To reserve your date, we require a deposit (33% of event venue package + add-on services). Remaining payments are due in installments, with final payment due two weeks before your event. All major credit cards are accepted.

  • What is your cancellation / rescheduling policy?

    If you must cancel, you’ll forfeit the deposit. For rescheduling, we’re happy to move your booking to a different date if available (subject to seasonal pricing).

  • What happens if the weather is bad (for outdoor patio or patio-use events)?

    We have a covered patio and indoor venue, mitigating most weather issues. We’ll work together before the event to plan for potential weather snafus. On the day-of, if changes are needed, our team assists with transitions.

  • Is accessibility considered (ADA etc)?

    Yes, our venue is accessible (ramps / restrooms / etc). If you have specific attendee needs, we’ll make sure those are addressed.

  • How far in advance do I need to book?

    Six months in advance is an industry event/party standard (twelve months for weddings). If you are flexible on dates, we can provide options that would work as soon as possible.

  • Are there preferred vendors, and are we required to use them?

    We have many outstanding vendors that we work with and can recommend! You are not required to use them and may bring in your own vendors. We will customize your event to your vision.

  • Do you have a liquor license? Can clients bring their own?

    We partner with many great bartending services—complete with liquor license. At this time, we do not permit outside alcohol.

  • What are the start and end times for your events? Can we have a wedding rehearsal and a rehearsal dinner at the venue?

    Yes, if you book your ceremony with Champagne Haus, your rehearsal is included. Rehearsals usually take place the evening before, or the morning of your event. In addition, we’d love to host your rehearsal dinner, prices are listed on our packages page.

  • What is your policy regarding vendor arrival/setup/teardown times?

    All Champagne Haus packages include event rental hours. Vendor access to Champagne Haus is permitted beginning two hours prior to the contracted event start time. All load-out must be completed within one hour of the event’s conclusion. Vendors requiring additional setup or breakdown time must arrange in advance with the venue and may incur additional fees.

  • What happens if the event exceeds the expected number of guests?

    We will work hard to help you plan and buffer for the correct guest count.  If actual attendance exceeds the guaranteed guest count, the client agrees to pay for additional guests at 120% of the per-person rate.

  • How many bathrooms? Are restrooms adequate for guest count? What about accessibility?

    We have two large bathroom complexes, complete with men’s and women’s showers. We also have two separate family restrooms.  Champagne Haus is equipped with accessibility stalls and can handle very large events.

  • Are there nearby hotels and lodging for out-of-town guests?

    Yes! Downtown Phoenix boasts some of the best hotels in the country, with a variety of price ranges to fit your budget. Your event coordinator can assist with recommendations.
