The venue rental fees are to be paid in full in order to secure your date. If there is a prior hold on the venue for your preferred date, that client has first right of refusal and 72 hours to book or release the date. Should we not receive correspondence from the client currently holding the date, the venue reserves the right to release for the next interested party.
