Fees can vary from the guidelines posted below depending on location, number of hours requested,
as well as a number of other factors. To receive a more accurate rate quote, please fill out an
enquiry form with as much detail as possible.
To reserve the date and time for your wedding, a signed contract and
a non-refundable deposit of $100 is required. The balance is due
10 days before your event.
It is preferable to submit two checks at the time of booking: the $100
deposit, and a post-dated check (dated 10 days before the event) for the
balance.
Fees for events in the
month of December and on holidays may be slightly higher.
Save when booking early! You may book next year's events at this year's rates if booked before the rate increase (generally in the fall).
