EVENT SPACE CONTRACT:

We are very happy to be part of your event. Please read the following contract carefully and feel free to ask any questions before committing. A non-refundable 50% deposit along with a signed Event Space Contract is required to reserve the event date and time. Any written or verbal communication, without a signed contract and deposit accepted by Central Schoolhouse Inn, is a quote only and not a reservation. Final payment is due to CSI/LLC on the day of the event when the Renter and their agents/caterers are ready to vacate the premises. We delay final payment to this time in order that any overtime charges or add-on rental items can be included in the balance due. Cash, check and credit cards are accepted, check being the preferred method of payment. If Renter cancels or reduces reserved days/spaces, no refunds will be made, unless we are able to re-rent any portion of the reserved dates/spaces and that refund will be limited to value of the re-rented dates/spaces. Please note that if you have reserved any Bed & Breakfast bedrooms in conjunction with your event there is a $35 cancellation fee for each room per day.

* YOUR 4 HOUR WINDOW INCLUDES SETUP AND CLEANUP TIME * ANY ADDITIONAL TIME ON PREMISES BY RENTER OR AGENTS BEYOND 4 HOURS WILL INCUR AN ADDITIONAL HOURLY CHARGE * NOTE: WE MAY HAVE ANOTHER EVENT SCHEDULED AFTER YOURS *
