Event Basics

Please leave enough lead time when reserving your space to account for the Cancellation / Refund policy!
Event rentals are confirmed only upon receipt of your non-refundable (NF) deposit. All deposits are applied to rent only.
The balance of your rent is due any time before the close of the “Half Refund” cancellation period.
For cancellations due to severe weather, every effort will be made to reschedule. If rescheduling is not possible AND there is a parking ban in Watertown, full rent will be refunded; otherwise 50% of the rent will be refunded.
