PARTY ORGANIZER’S GUIDE

We are glad that you are planning a party at the Hilton Kalastajatorppa hotel.
On this page, we’ve put together a lot of practical information that will make your party planning easier.
Our sales team is also happy to help with any additional questions.

Use of the function room

The function room is at your disposal for 7 hours, additional hours 450 €/starting hour, (additional hour charge always also after 24:00).
The last drinks are served half an hour before the end of the party.
In accordance with the liquor legislation, a security supervisor is required if the party continues after 02:00.
1 supervisor/100 guests, minimum charge Mon–Sat 620 €/4h, Sundays & public holidays 1240 €/4h

Decorations and gifts

You may bring your own decorations into the function room that do not damage the space’s furniture or walls.
The use of confetti cannons is not allowed. The space can be decorated no earlier than two hours before the start of the event.
Earlier access is possible if there are other events in the Conference & Event building, and the staff is there.
Earlier styling is also possible for an additional charge of 155 €/hour.
Decorations and gifts are asked to be collected by the party people at the end of the party.
If you wish, you can store the items at the hotel reception’s storage room, where you can pick them up the next day.
The goods can also be unloaded on the next business day, provided that there are no other events in the function room.
Hilton team members do not collect decorations/gifts.

Sound reproduction, background music and performers

Upon request, we offer a maximum of 3 wireless handheld microphones free of charge. Microphones are only suitable for voice reproduction. If a band performs at your party, they would need to bring their own sound systems. In this case, it is good to use the band’s microphones also for possible general speeches. The band can arrive and do a sound-check no earlier than 2 hours before the start of the party. After the party ends, the band unloads their belongings. If the unloading takes longer than half an hour from the end of the party, we charge 155 €/starting hour until the staff has taken care of the final cleaning of the facilities (Sunday/holidays 310 €/starting hour). Alternatively, demolition can also be done without additional charge on the next business day, provided that there are no other events in the space. The hotel is not responsible for musical instruments/goods left on the premises. Calm background music from Hilton’s sound system can be played in the function room.

Upon request, we offer a video projector and a screen free of charge.

Stage

There is a stage available in the Pyöreä Sali (Round hall). We charge 450 € for removing the stage.

Flowers

You have the opportunity to order flowers through our partner. You can also use your own flower supplier and the flowers can be delivered in advance to Kalastajatorppa’s flower refrigerator.
Delivery will be agreed separately closer to the event. If desired, the staff of Kalastajatorppa can place the flowers on tables according to the instructions given in advance.

The shape of the table in the room will be planned together with our sales team. Below, you can find some examples of the floor maps of the rooms, these can be considered as a basis when planning the table set-up.

If the place cards are set on the tables by the staff, the cards must be in the correct order by table,
and it must be clearly indicated where the placement starts and in which direction to proceed.
