The Fine Print

Booking Your Date

In order to secure your special day, we require a deposit of 50% of the venue fee. Dates are booked on a first-come, first-serve basis.  This deposit is nonrefundable and must be paid before we guarantee a specific date.  The remaining balance must be paid in full 60 days prior to the event date.

Rescheduling

Should an event need to be rescheduled by the client, 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 12 months and be set on the 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 agreed upon dates.

Damage Deposit

We also require a damage deposit of $1000, which is due on day of booking via credit card. (Will only be charged if damage occurs) Museum staff will inspect the property the day following the event. The cost to repair any damage to the property will be deducted from the damage deposit.
