Can we tour the venue?

Yes, and tours are free. They're by appointment: send us an inquiry, and we'll reply with a link to schedule your visit. Want to see both Ronin 2 and Ronin Harrisburg? No need to inquire twice. Just mention it in the details section of your inquiry, or by email, and we'll plan time for both.

Who can book Ronin 2?

The person who signs the rental agreement must be 25 or older.

What time do events end?

Events at Ronin 2, music included, end by 11pm. The last hour is for breakdown, and everyone is out by midnight.

Can we arrive early?

Yes, at no extra charge when your rental keeps the same length. For example, a 10am start can move to 7am if your end time moves three hours earlier too. If you'd rather add hours, we'll add them to your booking for an additional charge. Tell us your timing when you inquire.

When can our decorator and vendors set up?

Within your rental time. Your booking covers setup, your event and breakdown, so plan your hours around all three. Need an earlier start? Shift your rental earlier at no extra charge, or add hours. That flexibility is why many clients book a full day.

What does the rental price include?

Cleaning is included, and there are no hidden fees. Table and chair setup and breakdown is optional ($175 for either, $300 for both). Your refundable security deposit is separate and comes back after your event.

How does bar service work?

All alcohol, including beer, wine and champagne, is served by our exclusive bartending partner. You supply the drinks; the bar team brings cups, ice, straws, mixers and napkins. After you book, you'll get a link to plan your bar with them, and they bill you directly.

Can our caterer cook on site?

There's no cooking inside the building, but your caterer can prep and plate in our prep and catering kitchen. Mobile kitchens and food trucks can cook on site from street parking, like our preferred caterer Cafe Natalie's kitchen truck.

Are linens included?

No. Our tables come without linens, so bring your own or rent them through your planner or caterer.

Can we use candles?

Yes, as long as every flame is enclosed. Open-flame candles and candlesticks aren't allowed. Every candle must sit inside a votive or holder that rises at least three inches above the flame. The rule applies everywhere at Ronin 2, inside and on the patio.

Can we bring a DJ or live band?

DJs are welcome, and live music is allowed with some restrictions. Talk with our team about your plans and we'll walk you through the details. We don't provide microphones, projectors or a stage, but our preferred vendors have all three, and we're happy to connect you.

How do we play music on the built-in speakers?

Our on-site iPad plays music through the venue's built-in speakers using YouTube Music. Build your playlists ahead of time and we'll add them to the venue's profile, so you control what plays.

Can we bring a pet?

Often, yes. Couples sometimes bring a pet to be part of the big day. Just let us know ahead of time, since every pet needs our approval.

Is there a security deposit?

Yes. We collect a refundable security deposit before your event, separate from your retainer and venue fee. After your event, we do a walkthrough. If the venue is undamaged and your event stayed within its booked time, we issue your refund as soon as the walkthrough is done.

How do payments work?

We customize payment plans to fit your event. Our standard plan is 50% at signing to hold your date, with the balance due 60 days before your event, both paid by payment link. Pay by credit card or bank transfer (ACH), whichever is easier. We never add a card processing fee.

Where do guests park?

Guests park on the street and in nearby lots. Watch the signs closely, since some lots are private. Download our parking map and share it with your guests. Rideshare or valet makes arrival easiest; ask us about our preferred valet vendors. If you don't book one of them, our venue manager will help you plan where cars will park.
