General
Blooming Creations can accommodate a maximum of 175
guests. Since only one event is held at a time, you may start
your event at any time up until 6:00pm. All events must
close at 12:00 a.m. Each additional hour is $100 and must
be requested a minimum of 90 minutes before original time
is up. Bar services will shut down sixty minutes prior to
end of events.
All pricing is subject to change. Once an event is
scheduled, Blooming Creations will honor the package price
at time of booking. Should you need to reschedule, you will
be subject to any pricing or policies at the time of
scheduling.
If the ceremony is taking place at Blooming Creations, a
date and time will be reserved for a one-hour rehearsal. If a
date change is required, Blooming Creations will schedule
the change no sooner than thirty days prior to the event so
as not to interfere with other events.
Blooming Creations is not responsible for any damage or
loss to any merchandise, articles, or valuables located on
the premise prior, or subsequent, to any function.
Fees & Payment Schedule
A $500 reservation fee is required to reserve a date. This
fee is non-refundable in the event of cancellation. The
reservation fee will be applied toward your final balance,
which is due 14 days prior to the event. 25% of the package
price, based on guest minimums, is due six months prior to
event. A second 25% payment is due three months prior to
event. All mandatory payments received toward an event
are non-refundable upon cancellation. All payments may be
made by cash, check, Visa, MasterCard, or Discover...with
the exception of the final payment, which must be paid in
cash or cashier's check.
A $500 security deposit may be added to your final invoice
and will be returned to you ten days following your event,
providing no damages have incurred.
Guarantee
The number of guests attending must be confirmed fourteen
days prior to the event. This number will be a guarantee for
billing purposes that may not be reduced after that date.
Blooming Creations will charge its published per person
rate for any additional guests in excess of your final count.
In the event that the number of guests attending is below
the minimum guarantee, you will still be charged the
guarantee amount.
Cancellations
Reservation fee may be transferred one time to another
newly scheduled date, so long as that date falls within one
year of your original date, and notice is given at least nine
months prior to your scheduled event. Transferred

cannot be used as payment toward another event. Once 25%
payment and subsequent payments are made toward the
event, there is no refund upon cancellation.
