What does it cost to book?: You pay the listed rate plus a 5% service fee, shown before checkout.
What if I need to cancel?: Free cancellation up to 7 days before. 50% refund 2–6 days before. Non-refundable within 48 hours. If a supplier cancels, you receive a full refund.
What does it cost to list?: Listing is free. In A Pinch keeps 10% of your rate on paid bookings.
Who is behind the gear and crew?: Independent professionals, rental houses and In A Pinch's own inventory. The Vetted badge means In A Pinch has checked the supplier's identity, references and work history.
Can you handle the whole event?: Yes. Request a Full Production quote and an In A Pinch producer will design, staff and run the event end to end.
