Zurïe Studio Rental Terms

Terms and Conditions:

 BOOKING, PAYMENTS, CANCELLATIONS

2. Booking: To secure your booking/session, we now require full payment at time of booking.

Any cancellation notices received less than 24 hours before your reserved rental time will be charged in full, no exceptions.

4. Rentals cannot be rescheduled. If you need to change the date of your rental, you must cancel that rental and create a new booking. Payments are not transferable.

5. Rentals are often booked back to back, as Zurïe is a popular Photo Studio. Because of this, setup AND cleanup must be included in the rental time you reserve.

6. Zurie Studio’s hourly rates are based on the TOTAL number of people that come in and out of the space throughout your ENTIRE session. In words, rates are based on foot traffic, not by how many people are in the space at one time. The hourly rates are: (1-5 guests: $75), (6-10 guests: $100), and (11+ guests: $115). The total number of people does include the renter. If the rental exceeds the booked number of people total, no matter what hour or time of the rental, the renter will be charged for the corresponding amount. Example: 3 adults, 1 newborn, 1 child, 1 photographer = 6 guests = book the 6-10 guests rental
