No commission is taken, all funds made day of are the vendor. You get your space of choice and free drinks. It also includes event security and the kids entertainment as well as event photography.
Why is it expensive?
Trust us we get it. We don't like paying more than $50 an event, that's why we offer multiple options. The thing is we have to afford space rental, food costs and event costs plus we need to make a profit in order to continue planning events, our time is very valuable!
What Are tables/chairs provided?
At markets we rent tables/chairs for $15, in store we will provide shelves/display equipment

Vendors who pay $25 more can choose where they are located in the market (chosen during contract editing stage) or $50 for the store. If spots are left after we will accommodate those who pay the regular price.
What does the tablespace and no table option entail?
Tablespace simply means you don't need to be present, you get half a table to put whatever you want (preapproved by us) and we will have someone manage it for you! All prices must be clearly displayed, payment will be given in full the day after the event. No table means you bring a display rack of your own.
How do I pay for my spot?
We have a business banking account that you can e-transfer or if you're local you can pay cash if preferred.
Can I sign up for multiple spots or share a table?
Yes, we do not care as long as it is preapproved.
Is exclusivity granted to certain vendors?
We will try our best to avoid overlap, similar vendors might sell something like candles as long as they are different. We want to prevent competition while allowing as many vendors to participate as possible to give customers options. Same goes with every category.
What forms of payment are accepted at the event?
Vendors must manage their own payment systems. We would prefer that all vendors have a cash float AND offer square easy tap payments. This will be a part of vendor contracts. We can help with the setup of Square Payments.
Must I Be Available The Whole Event?
Yes someone must be at your space the entire event (minus tablespace vendors), if you are alone and need a break we are available to cover alongside other people, just message us!

Other Frequently Asked Questions
Here are questions about our store:
What is the cancellation policy?
No refunds under reasonable circumstances. We get that life happens so if you cancel before the day of I might issue a partial refund (no full refunds due to loss of space and the need to rent/pay for the event).
Why is there a contract?
All events/store vendors sign a contract. Some events we've been to do not have contracts, some do. However we believe they protect both the vendor and market host hence we are choosing to use them. Contracts hold both parties liable. Any break in the contract will incur a $25 charge from both sides (so If we break our side of the contract we owe you $25). Also multiple or large breaks in contract will result in dismissal from any current and future events with no refund given.
What does the contract entail?
The contract entails security, liability, insurance, the rental agreement and rules for events.
Can I change my contract?
If there's something in the contract that needs to be changed prior to signature let us know. After signing we charge $25 each time for administrative changes (remember our time and yours is valuable) this rule is reflected in the contract.
What happens if the event is canceled due to weather or other issues?
We will reschedule events in case of cancellation, vendors will receive credit to another event (no refunds as we have to afford rebooking).
