LINT Booking guide
Your booking at LINT.
Everything you need for a smooth day, from insurance to load-out.
01 Before you arrive
Before you arrive.
Do I need event insurance?
Yes, for any booking with more than 50 guests. It costs about $150. The simplest way is through our partner, The Event Helper, which sends us a copy automatically. If you buy it elsewhere, email your certificate to coordinator@studio3xp.com.
Named insureds
Do I need security?
For 100 or more guests, or for an evening event, your production coordinator arranges security for you. Security is $50 per guard per hour.
Where are the floor plans, furniture list and AV specs?
02 Arriving
Arriving.
Which entrance do I use?
A site manager from our team will meet you at the entrance to your studio at your scheduled arrival time.
- The Loft (Studio A): the primary entrance, at 418 Venice Blvd. Turn onto S Pembroke Ln, the alley off Venice Blvd; it's the forest-green door, first on your left.
- The Black Box (Studio B): on Hope Street, under the awning with the gold-gated doors. Deliveries, step-free access and anyone who needs the elevator use this entrance too.
From the parking lot, walk up S Pembroke Ln toward Venice Blvd for the Loft, or exit onto Hope Street and turn left for the Black Box and elevator. The site map shows both.
How do vendors and deliveries work?
- Vendors arrive during your scheduled setup time.
- You or someone from your team must be there to sign for every delivery. LINT staff don't receive or handle vendor deliveries.
- Vendors take all their packaging with them: boxes, bubble wrap and the rest.
- Limited overnight storage is available for a fee, arranged in advance.
Where do guests park?
The lot behind the warehouses is run by ParcScan, entered from S Hope St or S Pembroke Ln: $7 to $10 per vehicle, paid by scanning the QR code in the lot. To reserve spaces, call ParcScan at 213.210.8068, or ask us to book parking when you book your studio. Prices rise during big events at Crypto.com Arena and the Convention Center, so we recommend rideshare for guests. See parking for nearby lots.
Is the space accessible?
Both studios are on the second floor, 26 steps up. There is an elevator at the Hope Street entrance; call 213.478.1151 for access. There are two wheelchair-accessible restrooms (up to 27 inches wide), and the glass meeting room can be set up as a quiet room for events with strobes or loud sound. More in the visit guide.

What's the Wi-Fi?
How do I use the sound system?
Connect your device over Bluetooth to "soundsystem" for the ceiling speakers. A speaker and a wireless microphone are included with every booking.
How do I connect to the projector?
Both studios have projectors, connected over HDMI. There is an HDMI to USB-C adapter on site. For anything else, such as DisplayPort or Mini HDMI, bring your own adapter or use our house computer.
Can we change the lighting?
Yes. The Philips Hue LED system can be set to any color and level. Ask your site manager to set it for you, or to give you access to the Hue app for your booking.
Can we use the kitchen?
Yes. There's a refrigerator and freezer. Please wash any LINT dinnerware, ceramics or appliances before your booking ends, and bring anything specialized you'll need.
What are the noise rules?
Loud music ends at midnight Sunday through Thursday and at 2am Friday and Saturday. Your site manager may ask you to turn it down if neighbors are disturbed, and repeated violations can end an event without a refund. Extended-hours bookings follow the noise terms in their rental agreement.
What can we put on the walls?
- You can rearrange furniture carefully after checking with LINT staff. Please ask before moving plants.
- Only low-tack tape on walls and doors. No nails, screws, staples or anything that pierces a surface.
- No glitter, and no confetti other than paper.
- Any damage is charged after your event.
What do you expect from guests?
LINT is an inclusive, respectful space. Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, ageism or harassment of any kind means immediate removal without a refund. Your site manager has full authority to handle conduct issues.
04 Loading out
Loading out.
What if we need more time?
Talk to your site manager. Hours arranged in advance are charged at your contracted rate. Unplanned overtime is $350 an hour, in 30-minute increments.
What do we clean up?
Cleaning is included in your booking. Before you leave:
- Put furniture back where you found it.
- Bag all trash and take it to the dumpsters in the parking lot.
We encourage low-waste and zero-waste practices.
When does our equipment need to be out?
Everything you brought, including rentals, must be out by the end of your booked time. If a pickup can't happen then, we can hold consolidated items for a two-hour pickup window later the same day (before 6pm) for a $100 fee. Overnight storage must be arranged in advance and may cost extra.
