What Makes Dry Hire Different
Simple: We give you the venue and freedom. You control everything else.
No venue catering markup. No mandatory drink packages. No locked-in suppliers. No per-head minimums that force you to invite people you don't really want there.
You hire the space. You organize your own catering—whether that's a hatted restaurant, food trucks, a family BBQ, or cooking yourself in our commercial kitchen. You BYO all drinks. You decide what your event costs.
This means:
- Luxury weddings become affordable - Same stunning venue, fraction of the cost
- Total control over quality & style - Choose vendors you trust, serve food you actually like
- Transparent pricing - You see exactly where money goes, no hidden markups
- Flexibility - Corporate breakfast? Afternoon workshop? Multi-day retreat? You decide.
We provide the estate. You provide the catering and drinks. Invite 100 friends.
Celebrate your way.
