Cancel 20+ days before your event for a full refund (minus processing fees). Shorter notice = reduced refunds. Rescheduling fees apply based on timing.
-
No problem! You're charged based on your confirmed headcount (locked in 7 days before the event). If someone doesn't show, we'll create their terrarium for you—so you still get all pieces assembled to distribute however you'd like (give them out later, use as desk décor, client gifts, etc.). You get what you paid for, guaranteed.
