1. Deposit/Payment & Cancellation - To reserve Spirit in Niagara Distillery Corp.’s function space, a non-refundable retainer of $1,000.00 is required upfront. A 50% deposit (including the retainer) is required at the time of contract signing or estimate finalization. A valid credit card is necessary to guarantee the reservation. An estimate will be calculated through the event coordinator. Final payment is due (2) two weeks before the wedding date.

   If cancellation occurs 9 months or more from the wedding date, the deposit will be refunded in good faith if the room is re-booked for that date. If cancellation occurs within 6-9 months from the wedding date, then the deposit is non-refundable. If cancellation occurs within (2) two weeks of the wedding date, the full balance will be retained.
