In order to secure your date, a 50% deposit is required. This deposit will be applied in full to your final balance regardless of changes that are made, even if your event decreases in cost.

Once you have paid a deposit to secure your date, the remaining balance is due 7 days prior to your event. This gives you enough time to solidify the guest count, make product selections, and plan all of your final details before paying the remaining balance. Changes can be made up to 14 days prior to your event without any fees.
