Cidre Haus:
Venue Partnership Proposal

Presented by: Jean Ashley
Event Series Name: Cidre Haus
Event Concept: An artisanal cider experience paired with live diasporic house music

Overview

Cidre Haus is a carefully curated fall event series designed to bring together fans of diasporic house music and artisan cider in an intimate, stylish environment. The event blends a European-inspired aesthetic with a warm, seasonal vibe — perfect for drawing a crowd looking for elevated nightlife experiences.

We provide the DJs, sound equipment, and promotional marketing, while the venue offers the space and seasonal cider drink specials. Together, we create a memorable series that drives increased bar sales and venue visibility.

What We Provide

  • DJ Lineup: A curated lineup of 3-4 skilled local DJs specializing in diasporic house music

  • Equipment: Professional DJ gear and sound equipment (if venue sound is unavailable or insufficient).

  • Promotion: Full marketing campaign including social media, flyers, email newsletters, and artist networks to maximize event attendance.

  • Event Coordination: Scheduling, artist management, and on-site event supervision.

What We Request from the Venue

  • Venue Space: Access to the bar and event area on scheduled event nights.

  • Drink Specials: Seasonal cider-focused drink specials (e.g., French-style “cidre” options, cider cocktails, or featured brands) that align with the Cidre Haus concept.

  • Bar Staff Support: Service staff to handle drink orders and maintain smooth operations during the event.

  • Sound Support: Access to existing sound system or allowance for our equipment setup.

Revenue Model: Sliding Scale Bar Sales Share

To align incentives and create a win-win partnership, we propose a sliding scale model for DJ compensation based on bar sales during the event:

5% of bar sales $0-$2,000
10% of bar sales $2,001-$4,000
15% of bar sales $4,001+

  • The agreed percentage is calculated based on total bar sales for the event night

  • Revenue from this percentage will be split among the DJs and the event organizers accordingly

  • This model ensures no upfront costs to the venue while motivating all parties to maximize attendance and sales

Benefits to the Venue

  • Increased bar revenue through themed drink specials and high-quality entertainment

  • Attracting a curated, engaged crowd invested in music and seasonal experiences

  • Minimal financial risk with a performance-based pay model

  • Marketing support from event organizers and DJs with active followings
