• All connections to the ceiling or supporting structure of Gansevoort Miami must be made by Aerial.
  
  
• No rigging is permitted from the air-wall tracks.
  
  
• A plot plan showing the rigging requirements and detailing the weights to be supported must be submitted 14 days prior to your event. Aerial will review this plan in order to determine whether it respects the load limits and permanent point installation of The Gansevoort Miami Beach.
  
  
• Any rigging modifications, additions, or deletions to the plot plan must be approved in advance by Aerial.
  The cost of any changes to an installation necessitated as a result of not having these changes approved in advance will be borne by the client.
