## How booking works

1. Share your dates, group size and the kind of gathering you are planning, by email or the inquiry form.
2. A short call to confirm the farm is a good fit, then dates and details are confirmed together.
3. The Elseward team prepares the space, supports planning in the weeks before, and has someone on site during the stay. Trusted local vendors can be recommended. Elseward is not a full event-planning service.

Rates are shared on inquiry.
