Once you settle your initial deposit, we will lock in the current venue hire rate, drinks package and menu prices for you, so you know exactly what your budget is.
I am afraid not. Wedding Days take lots of forward preparation and therefore lots of orders are placed months in advance meaning refunds past the eight-week mark are not possible.
We issue your final invoice approx. six – eight weeks before your Wedding Day. This is when we also deduct any deposited amount already paid.
You will receive a confirmation email once you have signed your contract and settled your venue deposit. Within this email your next steps will be clearly detailed along with lots of further information to help with your planning e.g. nominated suppliers list, register office details to book your registrar, local hotels to share with guests, an example running order of the day and lots more.
