Why it works for AV
We haven't confirmed the AV policy here — it's the first question to ask.

Before you call

Straight answers

01 Can I bring my own AV or production company to Improper City?

We haven't confirmed Improper City's outside-AV policy yet. Ask the venue directly, and ask specifically whether outside production carries a fee or a mandate.

02 Can I bring my own caterer to Improper City?

No — catering at Improper City is in-house only. In-house bar with rotating food vendors.

03 How many guests does Improper City hold?

Improper City has not published a capacity figure we can verify — ask the venue for current numbers rather than trusting an estimate.

Partial by design — we publish only what the venue or our own site knowledge supports. "Confirm on walkthrough" is the honest answer and the reason producers do site visits.
