We cannot always guarantee open time slots, so the sooner you book the quicker you can secure the date. In most cases we need to book at least two (2) weeks in advance to properly schedule staff for the event. Please fill out our Request Form so we can save a spot for you and contact you to discuss.
No, it is just a request. Once we receive your request, we will do our best to hold the date while we contact you to discuss details. Once we have agreed to terms, we will send you a contract. Your event will be officially booked once the contract is signed and the down-payment has been received. Our events are generally booked on a first come, first served basis.
