6. Does my rental time include setup and cleanup?

Yes. Your rental period includes your entire event, including setup and cleanup. You will have access to the venue at your scheduled start time, and all personal belongings and event items must be removed by the end of your rental period. We cannot accommodate early setup due to other bookings.

6. Will I have a party attendant and what does she/he do?

Yes. There is an attendant on site who is responsible for opening and closing the venue, setting up your tables and linens and getting all equipment for including your booking prepared for you. The attendant is there to answer questions and offer light assistance throughout the event as needed (cake cutting, spills, etc) but does not serve as an emcee or food server,  nor does she conduct the flow of your event other than to make you aware of your timing. Our character entertainers provide more “structure” to the flow of a party with timed activities. Additionally if you book a group session in the Pixie Dust parlor, there will be a dedicated attendant specifically for that service.

7. How do I book my event?

Complete our online booking inquiry form with your event details, requested date and time, estimated guest count, and any add-ons you would like. We will respond within 24 hours with a customized quote.

Once you approve your quote, we will email you a rental contract for your signature and invoice you for the date deposit.

8. Is my date guaranteed when I submit the booking form?

No. Submitting an inquiry does not reserve your date. Your date and time are held once the required contract and deposit process has been completed. Please contact us as soon as possible to inquire about your preferred date.

9. Is a deposit required to reserve my event?

Yes. A $150 non-refundable date deposit is required to secure your booking. This amount is credited toward your final balance.

10. When is my final payment due?

Your final invoice will be sent three weeks before your event. Your full balance must be paid at least two weeks before your event date. If payment is not received by the deadline, your booking may be released and your $150 date deposit forfeited.

11. Is there a damage deposit?

Yes. A separate $100 refundable damage deposit is included with your final balance. If no damage occurs, your damage deposit will be refunded within 14 calendar days after your event.

12. What is your cancellation policy?

Our cancellation policy is based on how far in advance you cancel:

  • More than 14 calendar days before your event: The $150 date deposit is forfeited.
  • 7–13 calendar days before your event: 50% of the total booking cost is charged.
  • 1–6 calendar days before your event: 75% of the total booking cost is charged.

Please note that we are reserving this spot for you, scheduling staff, prepping equipment, ordering supplies etc. Our Cancellation policy helps us to recoup labor and supply costs associated with preparing for your event. Additionally, it is unlikely we are able to schedule another event in its place on such short notice.

Refunds, when applicable, are processed within approximately two weeks. Payments collected under the cancellation policy cannot be transferred to a future booking when rescheduling.

Please refer to your signed rental agreement for the complete cancellation terms.
