Additional Information
Cancellation
In the unlikely event that you need to cancel your event, please note that all payments made are non-refundable and cancellation charges may be incurred dependent upon the time between cancellation and when the event was due to take place. Full cancellation terms can be found here
Room Hire charges
Both the Basic and the Deluxe package include 12 hours access to the venue, as a general rule this would include 4 hours set up time, 6 hours event time and 2 hours breakdown time. This gives your chosen contractors time to set up and remove any décor you have ordered, and the catering company time to prepare your meal. Should you require additional time for your contractors then an additional room hire charge will apply. Your wedding co-ordinator will be able to give you a full quote, however, as a guideline the charge will be approximately £300 per hour for every hour or part of that you need outside of the 12 hour package allowance.
Chair covers and sashes
To add white chair covers and a coloured sash to a basic package would incur a £2.50 per person charge.
The Deluxe wedding package includes white chair covers and a sash from the below list. Chair bands and colours not listed below can be provided at an additional charge.
