RESERVATIONS & DEPOSITS

Reservations for Taylortown Reception Hall are accepted on a first-come first-served basis only. A signed rental agreement and $250 security deposit are required to reserve a date. Your date is not confirmed until both of those conditions are met, and you have received an email confirmation from Taylortown Reception Hall. Reservations not secured with full deposit within three (3) days of booking will automatically cancel.

We accept MasterCard, Visa, Discover and American Express. Deposits paid for a reservation of a date are transferable to another date (if available within the current calendar year). After seven (7) days, all deposits are subject to the cancellation policy. (See Cancellation Policy)

The balance of the rental is due 30 days in advance of the rental date. If the reservation date is within 30 days, full payment including security deposit is due at booking.   

The security deposit will be returned within three to five business days after your event, unless there were damages, cleaning and or any other violations of the Property Terms and Conditions, which will result in a forfeiture of full security deposit.

One-third of the balance is due at 90 days, 60 days and final balance being paid 30 days prior to the event. A Grace Period of three days following the 30-day balance due date is permitted; however, a 10% late fee on the remaining balance will be added to renter’s account. If payment of full balance is not made before the fourth day following the 30-day balance benchmark date, then the event will be cancelled without refund of any deposit or final payments.

CANCELLATION POLICY

If renter cancels agreement within seven (7) days of signing, a 50% fee will be assessed, taking from the total security deposit.

Cancellation after seven (7) days will result in the forfeiture of the entire security deposit.

In the event that a renter has prepaid rental fees and wishes to cancel the agreement, a full refund will be issued if cancelled 60 days prior to the event. A 50% refund will be issued if cancelled 30 days prior to the event. No refund of rental fees if cancellation is made less than 30 days prior to the event.

CAPACITY & SEATING

Taylortown Reception Hall is committed to the health and wellness of its facility, staff, patrons, guests and vendors. Therefore, we are closely monitoring and adhering to the state of Louisiana COVID-19 guidelines issued for safely re-opening by Phases.

The re-opening of the state of Louisiana entered Phase One on May 18, 2020. Each subsequent phase will communicate maximum indoor/outdoor occupancy limits, which will directly affect the number of guests permitted for your special event. Indoor available seating will reflect current indoor occupancy percentage. Be advised that it is your responsibility to edit your guest count in accordance with state mandated occupancy limits, which must also include all onsite vendors. Otherwise, on the day of your event the staff of Taylortown Reception Hall will limit the number of guests onsite to reflect current occupancy limits. Be advised that it is your responsibility to edit your guest count in accordance with state mandated occupancy limits, otherwise, on the day of your event the staff of Taylortown Reception Hall will limit the number of guests onsite. Please note that failure to abide by current occupancy maximums will result in immediate termination of event and forfeiture of all monies included security deposit.

Outdoor events are not limited to an occupancy capacity; however, we do require our outdoor occupancy to match the current state mandates. Additionally, social distancing rules apply.
