To secure the date, a 50% deposit is required when the rental contract is signed. The balance of the fee and a $500 refundable damage deposit are due 60 days prior to the event date. If no damage has occurred after the event or if the event is canceled, the damage deposit will be refunded. Additionally, if the event is canceled more than 60 days prior to the event date, the initial rental deposit will be refunded except for a $350 processing fee. If the event is canceled within 60 days of the event date and the final deposit has been made, only the initial deposit will be kept by the lessor.
Access to the event location for tent installation and vendor set-up is allowed one day prior to the event date, based upon availability. The Barn is available for set-up two hours prior to the event. An hour is allowed for breakdown and clean-up after the event. All trash must be removed from the site.
