The fees that you'll have to consider when renting a venue is naturally the fee of the venue itself, but also you'll have to check with them because sometimes you're going to be charged for security, sometimes it's an additional insurance that's required, and sometimes it's a hefty clean-up fee and a deposit. Make sure that the person that you're renting it from gets all of this up-front in writing.
