Should an event need to be rescheduled an administrative cost of $1,000.00 will be assessed.
All rescheduling will be on a case-by-case basis and the new date will be mutually agreed upon by both parties.
The rescheduled dates will be within the following year and on the exact same day of the week. Should there be no available dates within that timeframe then the next viable month would be put in place.
All balances must be paid based on the original dates of the original event date.
