The Buttercup Approach to Pricing

At Buttercup Venues, we believe in transparent pricing tailored to your vision. We don’t build from a rate card; we partner with you to create a custom quote based on the specific needs of your project.

Your final quote is tailored to your project’s unique DNA, considering the chosen venue and season, the duration, and the distinct nature of your production—whether it’s a feature film, a commercial shoot, a public-facing brand activation, or an exclusive invite-only event—as each has a different impact on the property.

Our goal is to provide a clear, comprehensive estimate that aligns with your budget and creative ambitions—no hidden fees, no surprises.

Please note: We book our venues for full-day and multiple day use only.

We do not offer hourly rates.
