# Question from Irene

how far in advance do I need to book?

## Your answer

Because of the high demand for private unique experience guests book 2-6 weeks in advance to ensure they can be scheduled. Angelina only serves one guest group a day, and only three or four a week. For your specific request please text Angelina directly at 541.340.4606 or email her at Angelina@HoodRiverSaltCave.com - 

The reason Angelina does not do walk ins is because of the time it takes to custom set-up each client's appointment and the care she takes to design your personalized private and unique experience. 

She documents your booked experience in photos and video clips not shared with anyone but you afterwards.
