A deposit is required for all rentals and is due when your reservation is made. No date will be held without a deposit. Deposit refunds will be mailed 2-4 weeks after your event. Deposit to hold the site is $1000.00. Your deposit is not part of the rental fee.

Cancellation Policy

You must give immediate, written notice of your intent to cancel your event to eliminate any obligation for payment of the rental fee. Once a rental agreement is signed, your deposit is subject to forfeiture should you then cancel.
