For private clients:
(1) Once you have made your initial enquiry and would like to
go ahead with a definite booking, please send a confirmation
email to me with as much information as possible at that
point (particularly for ceremonies). This will secure your date
and ensure your priority over other requests.
(2) Once we have agreed a price for your booking I would ask
for an advance deposit of 50% of the total, and the balance
to be sent 28 days before your booked date. Many people
now prefer internet banking and an arrangement of two
separate payments is fine in this respect.
For cancellations after agreement, please see (3) below.
(3) Should you need to cancel within 28 days of your date
and have booked a Ceremony, I will require the full Cere-
mony fee. However, in the unlikely event that I should be able
to re-book your date with another client, I offer a refund for
the deposit amount: this is because of the administration
and practicing involved in Ceremony
preparation, as only part of the fee covers actually playing on
the day.
For Drinks and Wedding Breakfast cancellations within 28
days, I offer a partial refund depending on the hours booked
and the preparation undertaken, which is at my discretion.
This is because of the
near-impossibility of being able to re-book so close to the
date. Many clients books months in advance and often date
clashes occur even then which result in work being turned
down.
(4) Sometimes it happens that two bookings arrive for the
same date, for example a daytime wedding followed by an
evening party. I will advise you if this is the case and work my
timings around both
bookings if possible to ensure smooth running on the day,
but ask for your understanding to leave in reasonable time
from the first in order to fulfill my commitment to the
second.
(5) Please note that I charge for practising beforehand at
ceremonies or for rehearsals. This is normally calculated at
half my charge for the first hour of playing.
(6) Please advise at time of booking if you require a receipt
for
wedding insurance purposes.
(7) Please arrange to send any music, either on CD or on
sheet, at least 28 days prior to your booked date. Thank you.
For agency bookings:
Please contact the agent directly who will issue a contract on
your behalf and forward to me after agreement with all
parties.
