We love our furry friends and are happy to have them be part of your event, but they should be supervised at all times to ensure everyone has a great experience!
What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?
We will be happy to reschedule to a later date, pending availability. If you need to cancel your event, the amount you’ll be responsible for depends on how close it is to the event date, ranging from part of the deposit to the full rental fee.
