There was no fee to rent the place but you had to pay for the food and have a certain amount of drinks paid for. That is something you will work out with Baxter before hand. I dealt with the older Baxter and he was an extremely nice guy and very helpful. This was the first time I had ever planned a party like this and they made it easy. The money that everyone at the party spends on drinks goes towards the preset amount that you agree on.
