360° video booth: at least 14×14 feet, one standard outlet, and level ground.

As early as possible. Peak weekends in spring, fall, and December often fill months ahead. A deposit locks in your date.

A retainer secures your date, with the balance due before the event. Retainers are non-refundable but can typically be transferred to a new date if you need to reschedule. Full terms are in your booking agreement.
