PAYMENT POLICY
A deposit of half the rental fee is required upon booking to reserve any of our facilities for a function. Three months after the original booking, or three months prior to the date of the function, whichever is earlier, we require the balance of the rental fee together with the signed contract (if the contract has not already been returned). If a function is booked less than three months prior to the date of the function, 100% of the rental fee is required. The contract is issued upon receipt of the initial rental deposit or full rental deposit, whichever is applicable.

Rental fees are refundable if notification is received in writing at least three months prior to the function. A $675.00 cancellation fee will be charged (subject to G.S.T.). If the function is cancelled less than three months prior to the date of the function, all monies received by Casa Loma, including the deposit, will be forfeited.

Payment policy and cancellation fees are different for daytime functions. Contact the Casa Loma Catering Department for further information.

Please contact the approved caterer(s) to discuss their payment, deposit and cancellation policies

Any remaining amounts due to Casa Loma must be paid one week prior to the date of the function.

All final payments due to Casa Loma are to be made by certified cheque, money order, cash, credit card (Visa, MasterCard or American Express) or debit card.   Functions cannot take place without the final payment, the entire rental fee, and duly signed contract.
