To confirm and secure your reservation, we require a deposit of £1000 and the completed booking form as overleaf. A further deposit of £1000 is required 10 months prior to the wedding reception. Deposits are neither refundable nor transferable. The client should make an appointment approximately 8 weeks prior to the event to discuss requirements in finer detail.

This will be the figure for which you will be charged unless the numbers subsequently increase.

2. PAYMENT All prices quoted are applicable to wedding receptions taking place before 1st January, 2016 and are inclusive of VAT at 20%. A pro-forma invoice will be issued 4 weeks prior to the event and is payable at least 2 weeks before the function. This invoice will be based on the numbers given by the client and will cover the estimated cost of food, reception drinks, wines and room hire. Actual numbers should be advised 7 days before the reception and this will form the basis of the final invoice. If after the event there is an outstanding balance it should be settled on the day. Should the final invoice indicate a credit balance this payment will be returned to the client. Please be aware that a surcharge of 2% will be made for payment made by Credit Cards. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept American Express.

Cancellation charges will not be waived if the booking is rescheduled. It is strongly recommended that you take out wedding insurance. Please contact your preferred broker.

4. MINIMUM NUMBERS If you are planning to get married on a Saturday (or Sunday before a bank holiday) between 1st April and 31st October, we require the number of adult guests to be a minimum of 80 for the formal wedding breakfast and 100 for the evening reception.
