  • ●　How It Works...
  • Step 1: Submit Your List
    - Provide us with the specific names, dates, and times for the restaurants, hotels, or activities you want booked.
  • Step 2: Advance Payment
    - To begin the reservation process, we require full payment of our service fee and any applicable reservation deposits upfront.
  • Step 3: Real-Time Booking
    - Our team immediately gets to work securing your requests. If a requested venue is fully booked, we will notify you immediately.
  • Step 4: Confirmation & Alternatives
    - Once secured, you’ll receive a final confirmation. If a choice was unavailable, we’ll include a complimentary alternative suggestion as a kind gesture to help you fill that gap.

    ●　What if my request is "Booked Out"?
    If we are unable to secure your specific request because it is sold out:
    Full Refund for That Item:     You will receive a 100% refund of the service fee and deposit associated with that specific unavailable booking.
    Complimentary Alternatives: As a courtesy, we will provide you with 1–2 similar alternative options at no extra charge. 
    　　　　　　　　　　　　      You are under no obligation to book these, but we provide them to ensure your day still runs smoothly.
    Prompt Processing: All refunds are processed back to your original payment method within 3-5 business days.

Changes & Cancellations 

We understand that travel plans can shift! However, please keep the following in mind:
  • Our Booking Fee: Once we have successfully secured a reservation for you, our booking fee is non-refundable. This covers the time and expertise used to coordinate with the venue on your behalf.
  • Venue Policies: Any refunds for the actual cost of the activity or accommodation are subject to the specific venue’s own cancellation policy.
  • Changes & Re-bookings: If you need to change a date or cancel a confirmed booking after it has been made, an additional service fee ($15/per change and cancellation) will apply to cover the extra coordination required to contact the venue and re-arrange your plans.
  • The “Safety Window”: If you request a change before we have reached out to the venue or within the venue’s “free cancellation” period, we will always do our best to assist you fairly, though our initial service fee for the work performed remains.
