Booking payments and damage deposit
Your date is secured only after The Cattle Barn receives your signed contract and a date-hold deposit of 50% of the rental rate plus sales tax, and The Cattle Barn countersigns the contract. The deposit is refundable through January 1 of the event year, less a $500 booking fee; it becomes nonrefundable on January 2. The balance is nonrefundable and is due 120 days before your event, together with the refundable $500 damage deposit and sales tax as stated in the contract. If the balance is not paid on time, The Cattle Barn may cancel the reservation without refund and rebook the facility. Damage, additional cleaning and other additional costs are deducted from the damage deposit first; the renter is responsible for any amount exceeding it.
Payments may be made by cash or check. Payments and correspondence should be directed to The Cattle Barn, 1890 Nelson Siding Road, Cle Elum, WA 98922.
Event insurance and alcohol requirements
Public liability and personal property damage insurance are required at the renter’s expense, with proof due 30 days before the event. The contract requires at least $1 million in single-limit liability coverage and $2 million in general aggregate coverage, naming both St. Eligius, LLC and The Cattle Barn, LLC as additional insureds. If alcohol is served, liquor liability coverage is required. Established catering services may use their license and insurance to cover this liability as provided in the contract. Provide the alcohol permit required by the contract 30 days before the event. Caterers and other vendors must provide their insurance certificates and catering licenses as required by the contract at least 30 days before the event, identifying both entities. Failure to provide the required insurance may result in cancellation without refund under the contract.
