What is The Doyle NOT?
We are not a banquet hall or a golf course. We are a historical, creative “hidden gem” in Downtown Las Vegas. Unlike most venues, we allow you to put a nail in the wall.
How much time can I have at The Doyle?
We give you a 14-hour day from 10:00AM – 11:59PM. This allows you to truly inhabit the space and make it your own.
Does The Doyle have both inside and outside space?
Yes! We have a large lower courtyard, upper patio (for outdoor living room areas) and an inside event space. Please refer to the schematic on our website.
Does The Doyle have a bridal suite?
Yes. We have a fabulous, spacious bridal suite with a Downtown LA feel.
Does The Doyle have a groom suite?
Absolutely. The groom party is not forgotten. They have a great “groom hang” with a large sectional. Groom parties love it!
Is there parking?
Yes. We have non-metered free parking on our street and we use an empty parking lot one property over. For every event, we provide one attendant that directs parking and one person that zips around on our blue golf cart all night long (from beginning to end) shuttling guests to and from the courtyard.
How is the rental fee determined?
Time of year, day of the week, holiday or not, and guest count all factor into determining the rental fee. Please fill out the inquiry form on the website (including the date you’re interested in and your guest count) and someone will get back to you.
Is The Doyle expensive?
Many find we are a bargain when you consider all that comes with your rental: a 14-hour day, a variety of décor items (chairs, tables, lanterns, lighting, lounge areas, rugs, etc.), staff, parking, courtyard, bridal suite, open food catering, alpacas (if it suits your fancy), and flexibility with fewer rules and regulations. We are priced competitively in the Las Vegas market and there is no match when it comes to uniqueness and bang for your buck. When we give you a quote, that is the quote. The only additional expense is a nominal day-of event insurance fee (see below). Most venues quote a base fee with additional costs that can drive the total up by $1,000 or more.
Do you require “Day of Event” Insurance?
Yes. We provide examples of two online companies where you can purchase coverage in just a few minutes. For 100 guests, the fee is typically around $130 or less. You may also use your own insurance carrier, though many find the online options more competitive. Insurance is due 30 days before your event, along with your final payment.
What is your deposit to hold the space?
Can I bring in my own alcohol?
We’re sorry, no. We hold a banquet facility license with the City of Las Vegas, which requires that all alcohol be provided by a fully licensed alcohol catering service. We currently work with two: CraftLV.com and LiquidCourage.com. The Doyle is also in the process of implementing its own competitive alcohol service. These are the only services we allow.
Do you require a coordinator?
Yes and we consider this one of the best uses of your budget. Your coordinator will be an invaluable consultant, running your event, implementing your wishes, and allowing you to relax and be pampered in our bridal suite. They will also serve as the primary point of communication on the day of your event. If there is a room flip from ceremony to reception, our staff will move the chairs and tables into place, and your coordinator will dress the tables and pack up your décor items at the end of the night.
You’ll find many excellent coordinators on our preferred vendor list: all experienced with The Doyle and how we operate. You are welcome to use your own coordinator, but we ask that they are experienced and communicate with us ahead of your event. We also ask that you schedule a site visit approximately six weeks out so we can go over your setup and note which in-house items you’ll be using.
Do we have to set up and clean up at the end of the night?
No. We handle the initial setup of all Doyle-provided items (chairs, tables, rugs, lounge areas). At the end of the night, we ask that everything brought in goes back out. Your coordinator will pack up your décor and return items to your designated people. Our staff puts away all in-house items and handles cleanup and trash removal throughout the evening. We do ask that you remind your vendors to clean up after themselves — disposing of trash in the cans provided and leaving the space as they found it.
Does The Doyle provide staff?
Yes. We provide staff to handle parking, monitor the space and restrooms, and move chairs and tables for the room flip from ceremony to reception.
Where can I have a wedding ceremony on your property?
Ceremonies typically take place in the main event space (with a room flip to follow) or in our lower courtyard, with our staff transferring the chairs.
Can I pick up my belongings the next morning?
We’re sorry, no. Everything brought in the morning of your event must go out before your 11:59PM exit — including anything rented from party rental companies such as RSVP Party Rental, Rebel Rental, Caesars, and Modern Vintage Rental. This is due to back-to-back events.
Am I required to use your vendors?
No — with the exception of bar service. For food, we are an open caterer: any licensed and insured caterer is welcome. We will need documentation prior to your event. This flexibility allows you to customize your menu, bring in cultural cuisine, or even hire a food truck or taco bar, which can be quite budget-friendly.
Does The Doyle allow food trucks?
Yes! Most food trucks can pull directly into our courtyard. The one exception is the In-N-Out Burger truck, which pulls up right outside the main gate entrance.
Can you provide extra bus service for bussing tables?
Yes. Bussing is $60 per person for disposable dinnerware and $75 per person for real rented dinnerware. The number of bussers needed is determined by your guest count.
Do you have a list of "Preferred Vendors"?
Absolutely. Our list includes coordinators, caterers, food trucks, DJs, florists, and more.
Does The Doyle have alpacas and goats??
Heck yes! They reside on our property out back and can make an appearance in the grass area during your event. They love to be fed baby carrots (provided by The Doyle). If you’d prefer no farm animals at your event, they’re happy to stay out back.
Is there a barnyard smell?
No. We keep a clean, tidy environment.
Since you are located in the Downtown Urban Core, do you have homeless people milling about?
No. We actively monitor the surrounding area and have an attendant on our blue golf cart circling from the beginning to the end of every event.
Can I call The Doyle with questions?
Absolutely. We want you to have a successful, fulfilling event and are happy to walk you through how things work. Don’t hesitate to reach out.
