DEPOSIT/REQUESTING TIME SLOT Session must be paid for in full to guarantee the time slot you request. Without payment, if someone else wants the same time slot and offers a payment, it will go to them. Payments can be taken over the phone using a credit card, Cash App, Apple Pay or Cash.

BOOKING RATES

Sessions are booked at the rates published by the studio (subject to change) unless other rates have been negotiated. There is a 2-hour minimum. Time will be billed in quarter-hour increments. Sessions that run longer than the original scheduled time will be booked at the published rate assuming the studio is available. Lockout sessions are based on 12-hour days. Additional time will be charged at our standard hourly rate.

CANCELLATION FEE

Cancellations after 48 hours forfeit 50% of the session cost. You will then receive a refund of your deposit for any portion of time that we aren’t able to rebook.

STUDIO TOURS

It is recommended that new clients tour the studio before their first session. During this time we can discuss the parameters of your session and make a plan to ensure everything runs smoothly.

START/END AND SESSION TIMES

The session clock begins at the scheduled time that both parties agree upon. If you arrive early and the studio can accommodate an early start, then the session clock will begin at that time. If you are late for any reason, you will be charged from the scheduled session start time, with no exceptions. Please call if you are going to be late! Set-up time will be billed at regular studio rates unless other arrangements are agreed to. This includes load-in and instrument setup, microphone placement, level setting, media transfer, etc.
