Terms & Conditions

Making a booking:

At the time of booking, a non-refundable retainer of 30% of the total package is required to secure your booking/date. When the retainer/deposit is received, the date and time is reserved, and we will not make any other reservations for that date and time. For this reason, all retainers/deposits are non-refundable, even if the date is changed or the wedding cancelled for any reason. The remaining balance must be paid 1 (one) calendar month prior to the date of the event/wedding.
