HOW TO BOOK 

• Step 1: Contact us! Click here to submit your inquiry
• We recommend reaching out at least one month prior to your event to schedule. The Makery (and we) have lots of activities throughout the month and availability fills up fast.  Additionally, these workshops require living materials, so advanced planning is required on our end to harvest and order accordingly. 
• Step 2: Send Deposit. Once a date and time is finalized, a $50 non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your party. This may be paid via PayPal (rootedfarmstead@gmail.com), Venmo (@rootedfarmstead), via credit card using this listing on our website or via the purchase of the first event ticket (note, in this case the first ticket purchase is non-refundable)
• Step 3: Share your link.  If your party would like to pay for each seat seaprately, we will create a shareable link for attendees to pay directly, eliminating the hassle of collecting payment individually.  
• Step 4: Final headcount and payment. Final headcount and payment is required one week prior to your event so we can ensure we have all the materials you need.  Final payment (if not utilizing the link above) may be in the form of cash, check, PayPal, Venmo or can be invoiced via QuickBooks for payment via credit card.
• Refunds cannot be issued due to the perishable nature of our materials, however if someone in your party is unable to attend a take-home version of the craft can be prepared.  
• Step 5: Get the party started!
