For example, I charge a customer $1000, I'll request $500 to lock the session, no problem there. Now I have to collect the remainder without getting ripped off: stop payment on check, money order, cashier check. What has been the practice out there and what would you recommend to protect yourself to secure payment?
50% to hold the date, the remainder 30 days before the event.
