Deposit and Payment:
A non-refundable two-stage deposit is required for all weddings.  The first non-refundable $1000 is due up front in order to reserve the ballroom and sunroom for a specific date.  The second non-refundable payment of $1000 will be due six months prior to your wedding date. Unless other arrangements are made ahead of time, Spring Hill requires final payment made by personal check, bank check or cash.  Credit cards will not be accepted for any payment or prepayment except the initial deposit.  If a personal check is used it must be received by the Sunday prior to your reception, only a bank check or cash will be accepted for final payment after that.
