We're thrilled that you're considering our services for your upcoming event! We'd like to clarify our booking process to ensure a smooth and transparent experience.

Submitting a booking request is the first step towards securing your appointment with us. However, please note that a booking request does not guarantee a confirmed reservation.

2. Confirmation Requires Invoice and Deposit:

Your appointment becomes confirmed only when you receive an invoice and successfully place a 30% deposit. This deposit is crucial to securing your date and our services.

3. Payment Schedule:

• For  daily events full payment is due 48 hours prior to your event.
• For hourly events full payment is due day of event.
• Failure to complete the payment may result in incomplete event setup, and your deposit will not be refunded.

4. Deposit Refunds:

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can occur. Deposits are refundable under the following conditions:

1. Act of God: If an unforeseeable natural disaster or uncontrollable event forces the cancellation of your event, and it can not be rescheduled we will refund your deposit.
2. Vehicle Unavailability: In the unlikely event that the selected vehicle is out of commission and cannot be repaired in a timely manner, we will refund your deposit. Additionally, you will be given priority in choosing an alternative vehicle from our fleet.
