Booking Overview

Clear booking details, including deposits, payment schedules, party hours, and hands-on help to create a schedule that flows beautifully.

Reserve the date

A $1,200 retainer (not refundable) is required to secure your event date and is applied toward your total balance. Payments are made according to a scheduled plan outlined in your contract, with the final balance due before your event. Your rental includes a defined number of event hours, and additional time may be purchased in advance, based on availability.

Payment schedule

Payments are divided into scheduled installments, with the final balance due prior to your event date.

At the 90-day mark before your event, 50% of the remaining balance will be due.

Any remaining balance must be paid in full no later than 30 days prior to your event.

A separate $400 damage deposit is due with your final payment. This deposit will be refunded within two weeks after your event, provided no damages have occurred.

* Late payments must be made in cash.

** Get a signed contract. This protects everyone by providing written confirmation of the agreement and clearly outlining all event details.
