Question 4

WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY A RETAINER?

Accepted Answer

Your retainer is used to secure your event day and will be considered towards the full amount due. Since we plan our season a year in advance and dates fill up quickly (especially during wedding season) the deposit is non-refundable for reasons such as cancelation of date, change of date/event/show, weather, sickness/injury, accident, change of heart/mind/decision.  The retainer may only be transferrable if Lush & Lavish Beauty is available on the new required date otherwise it will be foregone.
