Session length totally depends on the space. Some venues charge per session (which usually means 4–6 hours), while others charge hourly or for the whole day. Luna De Papel has session rentals in Jersey City, while spots just across the river in NYC, like Penthouse Six Rooftop, can go hourly. If you're planning something that stretches into the night, ensure there aren't noise restrictions or early cut-off times.
Surprisingly, not really. Jersey City is way more car-friendly than Manhattan. If you're booking near Liberty State Park or along the waterfront, street parking and public lots are usually close by. Still, it's smart to check with the venue. Some even offer private or valet parking for events. For bigger parties, use shuttles or ride shares to keep things easy for guests.
Anything with a chill vibe or something a little special will work well. Birthday barbecues, engagement parties, weddings, or even corporate happy hours. The atmosphere and skyline setting make outdoor venues feel way more relaxed and social. Plus, you've got room for games, photo booths, or food trucks — things you just can't do indoors.
Most places are cool with decorations, and some even encourage it. You'll often be allowed to bring in your own décor, florals, and even furniture, especially at venues with flat hire-fee. Remember to double-check if there are any rules about open flames, confetti, or hanging things. Some rooftops and terraces might have weight limits or restrictions due to safety codes.
