- No. Our artists list when they're available and you choose any who are available at the time you need, even if it's the same day, no additional charge.
- Please do book at least four hours in advance so your artist can prepare and travel.
​

What if I select an artist but they're not available the day I want?
- You can click "Check Next Availability" and schedule that artist for a different day, or
- Close the booking calendar window and select a different artist, or
- Click the "Book Now" button to see all artists available on the day you want. You can select one by placing a check mark next to their name, or leave it as "Any Artist" and we'll automatically assign one.
