UPDATE FOR 20TH APRIL 2020 REGARDING COVID-19 AND EVENT CANCELLATIONS

​

To my brides, I understand that right now is an unprecedented, uncertain and unsettling time with ever evolving information and decisions to make and I am sending a virtual hug to you all.

I would like to reassure you of my terms and conditions as I expect you may be reading this if you have already booked with me and/or paid a deposit and would like to know where you stand should you need to reschedule or cancel your bookings with me.

I haven’t changed my T’s and C’s and they are outlined clearly below but importantly, please be reassured that I will work with you to come to a resolution that works for us both.

I don’t wish to add to the inevitable stress you will be facing and so please, get in touch if you have any questions or concerns.

I have added a page of all the dates In 2020/2021/2022 that I am unavailable, so I hope this will help when/if you need to reschedule, you can find this page by clicking on the DATES button on the home page or it will also be available on my facebook page, I will keep it updated as and when new dates are taken.

If you have already paid a deposit to reserve your event date this is non-refundable but hopefully we can reschedule based on availability and any new plans you make and the deposit will simply be applied to the new date.

I will simply transfer your booking if the date permits me and do all I can to make it work.

From a practical point of view, I have always operated to the highest standards with my kit cleanliness and hygiene and I will continue to do so.

You can also be assured that I am a socially responsible person and if I do not feel well, I will do my best to make rearrangements but most importantly, I will not put my clients at any risk.
