What are the booking and payment procedures?
Upon contract signing, a 50% deposit invoice is generated and must be paid before booking confirmation. Full signatory details, organization information, and finance contact details are required. PO numbers must be provided before deposit invoice generation to avoid booking delays.

Winter bookings for October or November weddings receive £1,000 discount on venue hire. Last-minute bookings may receive up to 20% discount on venue hire. December Christmas bookings operate on a first-to-confirm basis due to high demand.

This includes sparkling wine on arrival, 3-course dinner, half bottle of house wine per person, unlimited water, tea/coffee with mince pies, post-dinner nibbles, manned cloakroom, poseur tables, Christmas crackers, and DJ from Blank Canvas Entertainment.
