You will find all details of our cancellation policy in the ‘terms and conditions’ you will receive along with your contract. The deposit is non-refundable.

Q: When do you need the final numbers and table plan?
A: We will ask for your final numbers at least a week before the wedding. Please be advised – once we get your final number this is the amount of meals chef will prep for, therefore we cannot drop the price of guests you are paying for, should you have drop-outs the day of the wedding. We will also need your table plan as well. We will print your table plan for you.

Q: What are our options For Day 2?
A: We can host BBQ and Finger food on the rooftop, Brasserie Garden or Lir Bar.
