PAYMENTS

Initial payment to reserve the date includes a Non-Refundable Initial deposit of ½ down of the total cost. You are purchasing a block of time. Additional hours are $200-$100 per ½ hour if needed or used. (including rehearsals, photography sessions and rental day additional hours, set up, clean up). You may not add time once an event has begun. Because we may have an event directly before or after your event, outside vendors are only allowed in during the rented time and it is important to finish on time. Extra guests beyond the 75 must be paid for up front. We will set up the room according to the number of chairs required by you at the time of booking. You may not move furniture around, add tables or add chairs once an event has begun. Additional guests are $10 per chair.

Final balances for party balances are due 3 weeks prior to event. Wedding/Quinceanera event final balances are due 1 month prior to event. A security deposit of$150- $250 is due with the payment and will be refunded after the event providing there are no deductions. It takes 2 weeks for the linens to come back washed in order to assess damages. The deposit will be refunded after.

Any additional fees will be due day of party if event goes over the agreed time. If you arrive early wanting to come in, the time charge will be deducted from your deposit.

We sell time. All fees are based on an agreed time of usage of the facility, including setup and cleanup. You agree that $100 dollars per each additional 1/2 hour will be automatically charged to your credit card for any time over the agreed rental time. Times are rounded to the next 30 minutes. If the time is within $150.00 it will be taken from the security deposit amount and you will be refunded the difference. Damages will be deducted from security deposit.

Your initial electronic payment including policy acknowledgment checked off or paper contract constitutes a valid agreement.

CANCELATION /RESCHEDULING/REFUNDS

THERE ARE NO REFUNDS OF ANY PAYMENTS USED TO SECURE THE VENUE AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN MADE. You may call to cancel but please do not expect or ask for a refund. We turn other customers away once you have reserved your date. If we are able to reschedule at least 4 weeks prior to your event, we reserve the right to do so and will make every possible effort to help you within reason. People book months in advance and the odds of scheduling another event in place of yours at the last minute is not an option. This is standard policy for the venue rental industry.

Rental arrangements can be changed or reschedule if they are made no later than 4 weeks prior to events. There is a $100 rescheduling fee. Reschedules are allowed once, providing the date/time requested is available and the new date must be selected the day of the cancelation. If you book a prime Friday or Saturday time slot and cancel at the last minute, such as the week of, you will not be rescheduled on another prime day as we will have turned away other customers that wanted that time/date and we cannot do it again. All fees must be paid in full for the previous/new party at the time of the reschedule. Deposit will only be refunded if the venue cancels date due to a natural disaster or city/state Covid requirement. Balance of rental fee is due as agreed prior to your event and at this time, applicants are required to update any information and confirm their rental agreements. If final balance is not paid by the due date, the event will be cancelled. No refund will be made after event date and applicants will be billed for the remainder of the balance. Cancellations prevent the venue from obtaining other potential clients and cause a loss of revenue for the venue. There are no exceptions. If the event can be rescheduled there will be a $100 rescheduling fee due at the time of reschedule. These stipulations are industry standard for all venues.
