Event start time can be flexible for private parties. Public parties are pre-scheduled times and cannot be changed. All event are required to have a minimum enrollment or it will be cancelled and/or rescheduled. So, get friends and family to join you!

Tips are much appreciated but certainly not expected. If you feel the artist or assistant has done a great job then feel free to express your gratitude!
