Making a Booking

To make a booking firstly you will need to enquire with the Wedding Planner that your chosen date is available.

If available we can provisionally book a date for you and hold this for two weeks.

Upon confirmation of a booking we require a £500.00 deposit, a signed booking form and also a signed agreement by both the Bride and Groom

We ask you read the terms and conditions and the written agreement when signing the agreement.

We will send you an invoice of the estimated costs 12 months before your wedding of which 50% of the balance will be due. We will also do this 6 months before the wedding for 75% of the remaining balance.

You will be contacted 8 weeks prior to your wedding date to arrange a meeting to run through the final details of your big day. You will be asked to sign a copy of the final details and you will receive a copy of the final details.

We require the final payment 14 days prior to the wedding date.

CancellationsYour initial deposit of £500.00 is non refundable and non transferable

Any confirmed weddings that are cancelled within twelve months of the wedding date will be charged a cancellation fee as well as the £500.00 non refundable deposit.

Once we have received final numbers and payment 14 days before the wedding, we cannot offer a refund or credit if numbers reduce.

Should you need to transfer the wedding date or function room you will incur a transfer fee of £500.00, this must be done more than 9 months prior to your original date and is subject to availability.

& VENUE DRESSING
