Thank you for inviting us to see the wedding property! The property will work well and we would enjoy serving on the big day! After the visit we expect questions from you so ask them all. Our goal is to provide you with plenty of information so you feel very comfortable knowing what to expect from us.
We suggest you have a meeting together as a couple or family to discuss. Keep in mind all the fine details don't need to be figured out at this point. That's part of the process. There will be many opinions on how to go about planning the wedding day so take everyone's ideas and then decide what's most important. If you get stuck on something ask us!
If you still need prices on our packages or add-on services email/call us to request an updated quote.
Once you're ready to book the process will go like this.
-Tell us you're ready to book.
-We will create the invoice for you to approve.
-Once you approve it we will send out the contract for you and the property owner. If you're the property owner then only one contract will be sent.
-The deposit amount is 25% of the invoice. The contract shows a few different ways to pay but a check in the mail is the most common.
-After the deposit, and contracts are in we will confirm the date is booked.
Let's say you want to add services after the booking is complete. That's very common and there is no additional deposit needed. Keep in mind add-ons are not guaranteed to be available as another wedding could book those services.
In the months that follow the booking, we would enjoy answering any questions that come up. Our experience with outdoor weddings at homes, cabins, farms, and parks is something you can tap into.
You might not have this in the front of your mind but we talked briefly about the fact that we would also be there serving on the wedding day. This is one of the unique qualities of working with us. We're serving in the background touching up the restrooms, putting on sidewalls, setting up chairs, cleaning up trash (add-on), and much more depending on your needs.
It's the start of your marriage! We think it's really neat we can be there at the very beginning!

Water, Wind, Severe Weather, & Personal Safety
The Client agrees that the weather is unpredictable and having an outdoor Event means they may have to contend with the elements. A tent is not a dry shelter. There potentially may be water coming down the center poles, falling to the ground on the sides, blowing in, dripping from the canopy, or flowing into the tent. Condensation from dew or fog can form on the underside of the tent and then rain down until it's had a chance to dry. This same condensation can form on any of the equipment. We suggest table linens and table decor be set up late morning on the Event day. Wind can cause table decor and outdoor decorations to blow away. Keep this in mind when planning.
The Client shall monitor the weather and agree that tents and other small structures are not severe weather shelters. When the winds gust at 35mph or more, everyone in and around the tent and company equipment is at risk for bodily harm. None of the equipment can be used as a severe weather shelter. The Client shall create a severe weather plan with the property owner.
The Client shall take full responsibility for the safety of their guests before, during, and after the Event.

The Client shall allow the Company and Contractors 24-hour-a-day access to the property the week of the event and the week after to complete our duties. All property improvement projects shall be completed before arrival. The client shall have trees trimmed so that a 14-foot high and 8.5-foot wide vehicle can pass without hitting obstacles to the unload area seen during the property visit. If the Company and Contractors are delayed in our setup tasks due to the property not being ready, vehicles in the way, or projects underway, a $500/hour charge will be due on receipt, and there is a great possibility of the Company not completing tasks on time.
Animals
The Property Owner shall keep all animals and livestock away from the Company's equipment. Dogs and pets shall remain locked up until the setup and take down duties are complete.
Underground Utilities
