The Selective Partnership options are vendors you must choose from, whereas the Preferred Partnerships consist of pre-approved vendors. All vendors, whether from the venue’s required or preferred list, must be licensed and insured without exception. Additionally, if you select a vendor that’s not on Denali Jean’s preferred list, a $250.00 fee will be applied to the final invoice.

Upon requesting a specific date for your wedding, a short, online questionnaire is sent to obtain everyone’s contract information. After we receive the completed questionnaire, we require a $1,000 non-refundable retainer to hold your date. Half of this retainer ($500) will hold the date with the venue as we prepare the contract and invoice for your review. The remaining retainer will be paid to Jamie Leigh Events to hold the date. This is a non-refundable retainer and will be applied to your master invoice with the venue and with JLE. You have 5 days to review and sign the venue’s contract and select one of two payment options. Ninty (90) days prior to the wedding the remaining balance is due. Ten (10) days prior to the event, a $1,000 refundable damage security deposit is due. This is refunded to you after the event if no damages are incurred.
