    To reserve your event date, a $1000 nonrefundable deposit is due. 50% of the total price is required eight months prior to your event, along with a signed contract for your selected wedding package.

    Final Payment:
    100% of the final payment must be received six weeks prior to the event. In the case of overpayment, we will process a refund for the difference.
