First, I wanted to say the layout of the forum looks nice. Kudos!
Secondly, my question is regarding requesting deposits in regards to booking. I know a deposit is a 'must' to finalize a booking for a wedding etc. Do any of you mandate a deposit when it comes to a bar or a brewery (for like a car show) etc when it's a one-time event? Do you find that bars or breweries don't want to put down a 50% deposit? I could easily see that if you didn't require one, a wedding opportunity could come up that same Saturday and you miss an opportunity for a higher paid event.
