We wish to book. What is the procedure?
After you have reviewed our property, pricing and policies and we have verified your event date is available, our Venue Manager will meet with you at our office, draw up a contract, terms and conditions and a deposit. To secure your date, a signed contract along with terms and conditions and nonrefundable deposit is due immediately. 30 days prior to your event date, your remaining non-refundable deposit, along with liability insurance, is due. Deposits are figured as follows: 50% of your estimated event expenses as your initial nonrefundable deposit; the remaining nonrefundable 50% estimation is due one month prior; 14 days prior to your event date, your final guest count is due. Should you have an increase in your guest count, payment due immediately by cashier’s check or cash. Damage/loss deposit will be refunded within 14 business days after the wedding to allow for any additional expenses day of the wedding incurred by client or client’s guests. Please note: only a signed contract, signed terms and conditions and deposit on file secure your date. Without these, we are free to solicit other business for your date.

Are deposits refundable?
Due to the popularity of our sites, once we hold a date for a client, we turn away other business for that date, losing revenue. Additionally, we have to secure our suppliers and have expenses relevant to your event before it takes place; therefore, all deposits received are nonrefundable should the event be cancelled at any time for any reason. Additionally, cancellations under 90 days prior to the event date may be charged a cancellation fee equivalent to the estimated cost of the entire event. All cancellation notification must be submitted in writing, post marked and delivered to our office.

What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept cash, money orders, cashier’s checks or personal/business checks. We regret we do not accept credit cards. We do accept credit card convenience checks, however. Ask your credit card company how you may write out a check against your line of credit if you desire to use your credit card.
