Policies

Please review our policies before placing an order. These help ensure a smooth experience for everyone.

A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your wedding date. This deposit confirms your booking and reserves the time and ingredients needed for your order.

The remaining balance is due 2 weeks before your event date.

We accept credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), Venmo, and cash. Online payments can be made through our secure payment link.

Cancellation & Changes

Cancellations

Deposits are non-refundable as they secure your date and cover initial planning, ingredient ordering, and blocked time in our schedule.

If you need to cancel, please notify us as soon as possible. We understand circumstances change, and we'll do our best to be understanding.
