My deposit is the amount of the first hour, and the balance is paid at the event. The deposit is kept if the event is cancelled, but can be credited toward another event. I've had about 3 cancellations that lost their deposit, but surprisingly, they have never used that for credit for a new event and some of these people booked up to 2 years ago! Weird. I guess they forgot? It does state my policy in the contract. I should probably remind them! In fact, I need to remind them.
