The Fine Print

Payment

The preferred method of payment is cash or check. Credit Card payment will be subject to a 3% credit card processing fee.

Booking & Damage Deposit

All bookings require a non-refundable booking deposit of 50% of the total rental price. By paying the booking deposit and booking your event you understand that all booking deposits are non-refundable and will NOT be refunded for ANY reason. Balance of the event is due 60 (sixty) days prior to the event date. All payments made towards your event rental price and/or booking fee are non-refundable and will not be refunded for any reason.

In addition to your booking deposit, all bookings require a five hundred dollar ($500.00) refundable Damage Deposit. This Damage Deposit is required along with the signed Rental Agreement and Rental Deposit. (This deposit is separate from the booking deposit and must be paid separately in cash or check, damage deposit cannot be paid with a credit card) Because this Damage Deposit is refundable, it should not be subtracted from the total rental cost in this Agreement when the Contracting Party is rendering final payment to B&L Farm. Should the Contracting Party cancel the event, the full Damage Deposit will be refunded. Rental price payments and booking deposits are non-refundable and will not be refunded for any reason.

Additional Items Not Included In Venue Rental But Required By Venue At Customer Expense

Special Event Liability Insurance

A separate insurance rider for comprehensive general liability insurance, including property damage, bodily injury and death is required and is due no later than thirty (30) days prior to Contracting Party’s event. This insurance at Contracting Party’s sole expense, must provide and maintain comprehensive general liability insurance, including property damage, bodily injury and death, insuring Venue (B & L Farm, LLC) and its employees, contractors, and contracted vendors against all bodily injury, property damage, personal injury and other loss arising out of Client’s use and occupancy of the premises, including appurtenances to the premises sidewalks and roadways. The insurance required hereunder shall have a single limit liability of not less than $1 million, and general aggregate liability of not less than $2 million.

B & L Farm, LLC, Lori and Edward Wawers 2461 Crosstown Blvd NE, Ham Lake, MN 55304, and All Event Table, Chair & Tent Rental, shall be named as an additional insured on said policy. If alcohol is to be served, policy must include Host Liquor Liability coverage to protect you against alcohol related accidents.

These insurance riders can often be purchased through your homeowner insurer or online sites like: specialeventinsurance.com, wedsure.com or the eventhelper.com. A copy of this insurance policy must be submitted to B&L Farm at least 30 days prior to the event. In the event that a copy of said policy is not provided to B&L Farm (Venue), Venue reserves the right to cancel contract in its entirety and deem contract to be  null and void, without a refund of  any monies paid, with written notice to the Contracting Party.

Food & Beverage

Events at B&L Farm must be catered by a Minnesota licensed caterer (both food & alcohol). We allow our couples to pick the caterer of their choice, but reserve the right to vet these caterers to insure they have the proper certifications and licensures. Venue will provide a list of previously vetted Minnesota Licensed catering services for both food and alcohol.

B&L Farm is not an ABC licensed facility, so we require alcohol served on the premises be purchased and brought to the facility by the Contracting Party. A certified bartender is required at all events where alcohol is being served. Unless otherwise specified, any alcohol service must conclude one (1) hour prior to the end of your rental time.
