Post-Prom & Post-Grad info

Recently added to the FAQ page, we thought it might be helpful for some of you parents who were roped into helping out or weren't at that last meeting to defend yourself from being volunteered.

How early can we reserve attractions for our lock-in?

As soon as you have a date established, you can make the call. We know some school districts determine your dates a year in advance and that works to your advantage.

Okay, here it is May 2008, we just wrapped up our lock-in, but I  can’t get an answer about next year’s calendar. What do I do?

    Well, no good answer for that one. Until a date is set, we really can’t do much. In order to reserve anything from us, we must have an exact day to work with. We will not “hold” anything while you try to determine a date.

Alright, I have a date and a location for next year, what do I do next?

    Okay, now we’re rollin’. Either call or email us with your wish list of attractions. We will be able to tell you than exactly what is available.

How do I reserve what I want?

    Once availability is determined, you can reserve at that time. A rental agreement will be mailed to you with two copies; one for your records and one to sign and return.

What if I don’t know what I want or what is appropriate or popular for my event?

    Give us a call. We’ve worked with almost three hundred post-prom and post-grad events since 1996. We’ll be able to make suggestions that will make your event great.

Do I have to pay a deposit?

    Of course you do. Standard deposit is 50% of total rental. But here is the nice thing; your deposit is not due until January 15th of the year your event takes place. This seems to work pretty good since most schools don’t start fundraising until after school starts in the fall. However, we will be happy to take your money sooner.

What if I can’t pay the deposit by mid-January?

    That can create a problem. If you just totally blow us off after reserving attractions and signing an agreement; that really leaves a bad taste in our mouth. Just think of it, we’ve been holding in good faith something that other schools asked for and were told it was not available. Our only recourse is to scold you over the phone and remember that the next time we do hear back from your school; your name comes up in the conversation as to how inconsiderate you were. Of course there will always be someone who won’t inquire until March for an April lock-in. If we do have anything available that is asked for, deposit will need to be returned with signed copy of the rental agreement ASAP.

When will you deliver and set-up the attractions?

    We always seem to get calls in February asking what time of the day we will be there for a May event (that always makes us laugh). Most times, we can’t give an answer until 2-3 days before the event takes place. Sometimes, if everyone’s schedule allows, set-up can take place the day or evening before. This tends to work well for some schools to coincide with decorating. While we will attempt to work around your schedule, some set-ups must accommodate our route timetable. These will be dealt with individually.
