Our retainer amount is 25% of your selected wedding package in addition to a signed contract. These items will hold the date exclusively for you. In simple terms, once you book us, we stop letting other brides know that we have availability on that date, we provide them other referrals to help them in their search and lock your date into our schedule. The final balance is due 30 days prior to the wedding day. Payment for overtime, album upgrades or additional products beyond your wedding package are all due post-wedding.
