Booking & Deposits
Deposit: A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your event date.
Confirmation: Your date is held only upon the receipt of both the deposit and a signed service agreement.
Date Transfer: The deposit may be transferred one time to a new event date, subject to The MariLuca Experience's availability.
Our role centers on creating calm, seamless hospitality throughout your gathering — guiding guest flow, supporting table service, maintaining a tidy environment, and helping your home feel intentionally cared for during the event.
To keep the experience focused and elevated, the following items fall outside my service scope:
• Culinary tasks such as cooking, catering, or food preparation
• Bartending (unless a dedicated bartender is present, then I will assist them)
• Supplying alcohol
• Decorative design or installation
• Heavy cleaning, scrubbing, or washing pots/pans
• Managing interpersonal guest conflicts
Our expertise is hospitality and flow — not culinary, bartending, or deep-cleaning services.

A respectful and safe working environment is mandatory. The MariLuca Experience maintains a two-strike policy regarding inappropriate behavior, harassment, or unsafe conditions.
Any violation may result in immediate service termination without refund.
