Is there a deposit? When are additional payments due?

Round Lake Vineyards requires a $900 deposit due at the time of signing our venue agreement to hold your date. All other payments are due at or before your 5-week appointment.

What if we have an accident? Is there a damage deposit required?

Round Lake Vineyards does require a $1,500 refundable damage deposit in the form of a check. The check is added to your file and held for two weeks after your event. After assessment of the Ballroom at the completion of your event the check is then destroyed if no damage has occurred.

How can I pay? Cash, check, card?
