Cancellation & Rescheduling

The advance amount is strictly non refundable under all circumstances as the Studio blocks the date and declines other bookings.

The Client may reschedule once, provided written notice is given at least 60–90 days prior to the event date and subject to Studio availability.

If the Studio is unavailable on the revised date, the cancellation policy shall apply.

Coverage Hours & Overtime
