As soon as you get in touch with us, we send out an initial packet of information and preliminary questions. Once you answer those questions we put a soft hold on our calendar for you for 10 days so we can prepare a proposal and give you time to make a decision as to whether you’d like to book or release the date. If someone else gets in touch about that date before you’ve made your decision, we will contact you to give you the opportunity to make a guaranteed reservation at that time. If you don’t move forward, we will offer that date to the next interested party.
To reserve the Greyline for your event we require a deposit of $1,000 or the facility fee for your event (the greater of the two).
