What is the booking process and how far in advance should I book?

The venue offers site visits and phone consultations to discuss requirements before providing quotes. They hold dates provisionally while quotes are being considered, but will release dates if no response is received by specified deadlines. Same-day bookings are considered too last minute, so advance booking is recommended.
