Frequently Asked Questions
The studio is approximately 2,500 sqft out of 3,000 sqft of usable space. There is ample room for private events up to 80 seated guest (100 passing through and standing only).
Enough room for production teams, models, and additional crew members to create content too. More than 20 people will be charged as an event.
Many of our past clients started with 100+ guests but chose to scale back to under 80 after seeing how our design, perks, and pricing worked in their favor. Feel free to circle back if you reconsider after touring others—we’d love to show you why they came back to us.
Toire Avenue's intimate setup comfortably supports up to 80 guests maximum (40 people for even more comfort). We don't recommend fitting more chairs per table, it will feel tight and may compromise the comfort of our venue and the overall style of your event.

Our 8-foot rectangular tables are designed for 8 chairs each (10 maximum, if needed).
