Remember to put your name & event date on the envelope/check memo line.
Termination
The Venue will acknowledge the receipt of all the amendments/cancellations/terminations in writing via letter or WEVEN to the Renter, indicating whether the amendments/cancellation/termination has been accepted.
All payments made prior to termination or cancellation are non-refundable. Due to our payments being structured in a very obtainable way, if any payment is more than (45) forty-five days past due, with no communication of agreed upon payment methods, your event will automatically terminate and the date will be released for public rebooking.
That may sounds extreme, but unlike most venues, we do not take 50% at the time of booking or 12 months out. Therefore we would need to release the date in hopes someone else books it ASAP. We have had multiple experiences where a couple breaks up and never tells us. (or their other vendors.) Them "ghosting" us is how we learn of their cancellation. Due to those past experiences, which sometimes lead to full weekends being left opened. We have had to make this decision for our business. In our experience, 90% of our couples pay on time, without needing us to reach out. 5% lost track of time and send it immediately and the other 5% claim they are sending it, don’t, and end up cancelling their wedding anyway.
Depending on when you booked, your payment structure may be different. Revert back to your rental agreement if you are unsure.
