Haven & Halo Creations
Booking Policy
⸻
Payments & Booking
• A 50% payment is required to reserve your date. Once payment is received, your event is officially secured on our calendar.
• All payments are non-refundable. Because we reserve your date, begin planning, and prepare materials immediately, refunds cannot be issued under any circumstance.
• The remaining balance is due 5–7 business days before your event.
• If you choose to cancel, your payment can be applied as a credit toward a future eventas long as the new event is booked within 6 months of the original date.
⸻
Communication Policy
• All booking communication is handled by text or email — or through the same method we initially started your booking conversation.
• This helps protect surprises, ensures we have a written record of all details, and keeps everything organized.
• Please avoid phone calls for booking or setup details. All changes, updates, and important information must be submitted in writing.
⸻
Last-Minute Changes
• Any changes requested after the 5–7 day finalization window may not be accommodated.
• We prepare and design your event well in advance — please respect the planning timeline to ensure everything is executed smoothly.

Cancellations & Rescheduling
• Because each event is custom-planned, all payments are non-refundable.
• If you cancel, your payment can be used as a credit toward a future event if it is rescheduled within 6 months of the original date.
• Any fresh roses included in your original booking will need to be repurchased for a rescheduled event. Fresh flowers cannot be held or reused due to their perishable nature, and new product will be charged at the current market price.
