MATTERS OF MONEY

Payment

In most cases, except for high-booking requests during the prime season, or events booked within seven days of the event date, you will receive two separate invoices. The first will be for your deposit amount, the second will be for your remaining balance. You are able to pay the invoice right through your email with most major credit cards. Processing and Service fees may be attached based on your preferred method of payment.

Deposit

A non-refundable deposit must be paid in order to secure the Client's event date. The deposit must be paid within 48 hours of the invoice being sent. If the deposit is not received within 48 hours, the time slot will be given to the next interested booking. Your deposit amount is listed on your contract signature page. This deposit is non-refundable and covers the cost and work involved with the booking, fees, party planning, etc. that are completed prior to your booking date.

Balance

Client agrees to pay balance seven days before the event. We do not accept cash towards the balance due. Please process your payment via your emailed invoice as you did your deposit. Our performers will not handle cash towards your balance.

Gratuity

The package price does not include gratuity for the Performer. We recommend the standard 15-20% for a job well-done! Please ensure a child never sees the exchange of money. Performers may accept cash tips if they are discreetly presented.You may also send tips to @WonderlandWorksCo on Venmo with a designation of what character they are for.

Special Requests

We pride ourselves on customizing the event to be something as unique as your celebration. We do our very best to make all special requests you can imagine a reality, however some may require specialized skills or talent that will require a surcharge to be added to your final invoice.

THE EVENT

Adults at Event

We ask that the parent(s) or guardian(s) of the birthday child please stay for the duration of the party to attend to the possible needs of the children. Adults are welcome to stay and enjoy the performance, but we ask that onlookers keep the noise level to a minimum so the children do not get distracted and can adequately hear instructions from the performer.

Discipline and Non-Participation

The performer is responsible for the flow of the event and activities. The Client is responsible for monitoring disruptive behavior and attending to any child who does not want to participate.

Additional Children

Each party has a recommended limit for the number of children in attendance. This allows for quality interaction and a stress-free performance from our characters. Client agrees that the number of children stated on the Booking Form is truthful as this allows The Wonderland Works Company to plan a party itinerary that will keep all children engaged and entertained for the entire booked time. If the number of children exceeds the disclosed number provided by the Client, the performer has permission to alter the itinerary of activities as she or he sees fit in order to complete the party within the agreed upon time.

Time Commitment

Client understands that a timely departure is necessary in order for the performer to safely commute to his or her next event. The performer will not stay past the contracted time. In the unlikely event that the performer arrives late to the event, they will stay late at the end to make up for the missed time.

Activities

All activity options will be discussed and decided upon prior to the event. They must be finalized at least a week before the event occurs. The Wonderland Works Company purposefully over schedules your event so that the Performer never runs out of activities to play with the children. The Client is asked to prioritize activity requests and understands that the Performer will do as many activities as time allows. We ask that you also understand our performer will use their best judgment on when it is appropriate to go to the next activity. Sometimes children have their own agendas when a princess or hero arrives and we work diligently to make sure that ultimately it is they that have the most memorable experience possible.

Changes to Party Start Time

Any changes to party start time are at the discretion of the business owner and are based on availability. Any changes must be made no later than a week before the party date.

Changes to Party Length

Any changes to party length must be made no later than 1 week before the party and are at the discretion of the business owner and based on availability. Additional fees will be added to the final payment for elongated time commitments.
