Consultation & Reserving Dates
Reserve the date
-
simply reserve an available Date by paying the service deposit, and we will reach out to set up a consultation within 24 Business hours to create and begin processing your order/invoice.
This option is handy when you NEED a specific Date! services are first pay first serve, if you choose to request an estimate/consultation for a date This may take up to 72 hours to complete before being able to verify menu items and event details before being able to pay a deposit, IF a client submits a deposit by simply "reserving the date" before your estimate process is complete, then you will forfeit that date!
this option prevents this from happening

handle the details later!
