Weather:  Tents are temporary structures designed to provide limited protection from weather conditions, primarily sun and rain; however there may be situations, particularly those involving strong winds and lightning, in which tents will not provide protection and may even be damaged or blown over. Evacuation of tents to avoid possibly injury is recommended when severe weather threatens the area where the tent is erected. People must leave the tents and not seek shelter in tents during such conditions.

A 25% non-refundable deposit is required when you have already locked in a reception tent and want to add a ceremony tent, sidewalls, or marquee walkway tent in the event of rain. These additional items will be held up to 48 hours before the delivery date.  Full price charges apply if cancellation occurs on the day of, or at delivery.
