Booking & Inquiries - How do I book a service or lesson?

1

All appointments and lessons are booked via the email inquiry form buttons on the home page. After reviewing your request, I’ll confirm availability and finalize your appointment.


Do I need to pay to submit an inquiry? No — submitting a form does not charge you. A non-refundable retainer is required to secure your appointment and will be applied toward your total service cost.

For all bridal the final headcount must be confirmed and the balance paid in full 30 days prior to the wedding date.
