These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website grandavenueevents.com and any services provided by Grand Avenue Events ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"). By using our website or engaging our services, you agree to these Terms.
1. Services
Grand Avenue Events provides event planning, design, coordination, and production services, including but not limited to weddings, corporate events, private celebrations, concert and stage management, decoration, photography coordination, and venue management. The specific services to be provided for any engagement are defined in a written proposal and service agreement signed by both parties.
2. Booking & Retainer
All bookings are confirmed upon (a) execution of a written service agreement and (b) payment of a non-refundable retainer equal to thirty percent (30%) of the contracted fee. Dates are not held without a signed agreement and paid retainer.
3. Payments
Remaining balances are payable per the milestone schedule in your service agreement. The final balance is due no later than fourteen (14) days before the event date. We accept payment by credit card, ACH transfer, and check. Late payments accrue interest at 1.5% per month or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower.
4. Client Responsibilities
- Provide accurate event details, guest counts, and timelines.
- Secure all required permits and venue approvals (unless contracted to us).
- Respond to communications in a timely manner so we can meet deadlines.
- Comply with venue rules and applicable laws on the event date.
5. Vendor Engagements
We may engage third-party vendors (caterers, florists, entertainers, photographers, etc.) on your behalf. Where vendors contract directly with you, their terms apply. Grand Avenue Events is not responsible for the acts or omissions of third-party vendors but will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve issues that arise.
6. Force Majeure
Neither party is liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond reasonable control, including natural disasters, acts of government, public health emergencies, strikes, utility failures, or venue closures. In such cases, we will work with you in good faith to reschedule the event.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or relating to our services shall not exceed the total fees paid by you under the applicable service agreement. We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages.
8. Intellectual Property
All content on our website — including text, graphics, logos, and images — is owned by or licensed to Grand Avenue Events and is protected by copyright and trademark laws. You may not reproduce or distribute any portion of the site without our prior written consent.
9. Photography & Marketing
Unless you opt out in writing prior to the event, you grant Grand Avenue Events a non-exclusive license to use non-identifying photographs of the event for marketing and portfolio purposes. We will never publish guest names or contact information without explicit consent.
10. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Any dispute shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Centre County, Pennsylvania.
11. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of our services after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
