Q:

How does the hold and booking process work?

A:

You are welcome to place a 7-day complimentary hold on any one available date you’d like. This must be done in writing via email to our Special Events Team. This guarantees the date is yours while you weigh your venue options. If you’d like to move forward with booking after 7-days, our Special Events Team will send you an official contract. Once we receive a signed contract and the event rental deposit, you are officially booked!
