Please ask to see complete details and our agreement for these functions.
KISMET'S RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR SOCIAL GATHERINGS OF OVER 20 PERSONS: Kismet is one of the prime places chosen for rental and for renters hosting social events on St. John because of its site, the sunset and sunrise views, the ambience of the villa itself, and the number of persons it can accommodate. Because Kismet is in a residential neighborhood, every effort must be made to reduce noise and its impact on Kismet's neighbors. If you wish to host such an event at Kismet, the following Rules and Regulations must be closely observed:
--In an effort to reduce noise and discomfort for the neighbors and to reduce wear and tear to the villa, Kismet will accommodate no more than 60 persons at any event. Maximum overnight occupancy by no more than 12 persons must be observed at all times.
-- If a band is hired for any social event, the band must play only acoustic instruments. Electronic instruments, outdoor speakers and amplifiers are prohibited.
-- All outdoor music must end by 9:30 pm (indoor music with a dance floor available can continue with all windows closed and the air conditioning on.)
-- Kismet kindly requests also that efforts be made to reduce any other loud outdoor noise after 9:30 pm., including noisy conversation.
-- Your social event or reception itself, with any gathering of non-Kismet guests, must end by 10 pm. latest.
-- All traffic coming and going from Kismet must make an extra effort not to disturb neighbors. No cars or taxis should park in, nor turn in, any neighbor's driveway.
Unplanned events are not recommended and will likely be disallowed by Kismet Management if deemed a possible annoyance to neighbors. These weddings and any other social events are allowed totally by the decision of, and the responsibility of, the renter, and if applicable, their wedding or event planner. Kismet itself is not in the business of planning, creating or executing such social events.
