    What is the Cancellation Policy?

    The booking deposit is non-refundable. However, if event is canceled outside of five weeks of the event date, the remaining deposit amount due is waived. If event is cancelled within five weeks of booked date, remaining estimate balance is due at cancellation. We recommend event insurance as a means of protecting deposits in the event of the unforeseeable, and for liability purposes.
