We understand that making a decision on your preferred venue can take a little time and you may often want to consult with family and friends. With this in mind we offer our potential clients a tentative booking for 7 days once they have been to view the venue. This essentially places your name on the date but is not a booking.

All you need to do is notify us in writing. We will then issue you with a contract to complete and a deposit invoice for 20% of your minimum spend; this amount can be paid by cash, credit card, EFT or direct deposit. You have a maximum of 7 days to make this payment and submit the completed confirmation form.

The payment schedule for weddings is as follows;
Deposit Payment is 20% of the minimum spend – Due 7 days from the date of the invoice.
1st Progress Payment is 25% of the minimum spend – Due 6 months prior to the event date.
2nd Progress Payment is 25% of the minimum spend – Due 3 months prior to the event date.
3rd Progress Payment is 25% of the minimum spend – Due 1 month prior to the event date.
Final payment – balance due in cleared funds must be visible no later than 7 days prior to the event date.

No, once the minimum spend has been confirmed in writing it will not vary.
