Terms and Conditions
By using this system, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use it.

2. Reservation Fee
Pay ₱2,000 within 24 hours after confirmation, or your booking is cancelled automatically.

4. Cancellation and Refund

5. Modification Requests
- Only Confirmed bookings can be changed, and only after admin approval. One pending request at a time.
- Package, Guests, and Additional Staff affect the price, so you can change them only once. You may change them together in one request. A declined request does not count. Closed 7 days before the event.
- Other details (date, time, venue, theme, dishes, requests) can be changed many times. Closed 3 days before the event.
