CAN I ARRIVE EARLY TO SETUP MY GEAR?
Sadly, no. We’re already allocated into booking time for setup and breakdown. You must complete this yourself. Keep in mind that the studio may be booked prior to your booking and after your booking so we have to be considerate of other clients' time.

FRYME Studios is a compact but highly functional space. Rental rates are based on a maximum of ten (10) people on the premises at one time. If you need to accommodate a larger group, please contact us with your direct inquiry.
