BOOKING TERMS
SECURING YOUR WEDDING DAY
A £50.00 non-refundable, non-transferable booking fee is required to reserve your date.
This fee ensures your chosen date is exclusively reserved for you, preventing any other wedding bookings.
The final balance is due in full 7 days before your wedding. You'll receive an invoice with a detailed price breakdown before this date.
Please carefully confirm your party size when booking. While packages can be increased, they cannot be reduced.
By paying the booking fee, you enter into a contract and agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.
TRIALS
A trial for the bride is required for all bookings. Trials for bridal party members, such as bridesmaids and mother of the bride, are optional and subject to availability.
Arranging a trial before payment of the booking fee does not reserve your wedding date. Your date will only be reserved once the booking form and fee have been received.
All trials are mobile, with the artist traveling to the bride Monday through Thursday.
Weekends are reserved exclusively for weddings; no trials are available on Saturdays or Sundays.
Payment for trials is due on the day of the trial by cash or bank transfer. Missed trials, cancellations, or rescheduling within 48 hours of the appointment are charged at 100% of the service fee.
It's highly recommended that trials are held 1-6 months before your wedding day. This ensures your skin tone, hair colour, and all other wedding details are finalised, helping you avoid last-minute changes of mind.
PRICING/PAYMENTS
The pricing quoted at the time of booking will be honored. Any general price changes between the time of booking and your wedding date will not affect your agreed fee for the services booked.
If your wedding is postponed to a new date, additional charges may apply.
A minimum booking of "Bride plus 2" is required for all Saturdays, Sundays, and Bank Holidays.
After confirming your booking, if you'd like to upgrade your package or add more people, please let me know at least 8 weeks before your wedding date. This allows ample time to amend schedules. Once booked, packages cannot be reduced under any circumstances.
Additional makeup services cannot be requested on the wedding day due to the pre-allocated time per person.
If the bridal party size changes for any reason on the wedding day, payments remain non-refundable.
I'll do my best to avoid requiring an assistant. However, for larger bridal parties with earlier ceremonies (12:30 PM or earlier), an assistant may be necessary. The fee to book and secure an assistant artist for your entire booking is £100 per assistant, plus travel.
TRAVEL/PARKING CHARGES
Travel expenses are incurred for all services from the artist's location. These are charged at a rate of £0.45 per mile for the round trip and calculated using postcodes.
If the venue is more than a 2-hour drive from the artist's location, accommodation is required. This will be discussed and arranged accordingly, with a minimum of a 3-star hotel.
When parking fees apply, the client is responsible for covering these charges at the location where makeup services are being conducted (e.g., hotel parking and meter parking).
Please inform me before booking if there is limited parking at your location, as we bring a considerable amount of equipment. If we are not made aware of parking limitations ahead of the wedding or event, we cannot be held responsible for any resulting delays.
CANCELLATIONS / POSTPONEMENTS
In the unfortunate event you have to cancel your booking, please inform me as soon as possible so I can offer your date to other brides. All cancellations will incur the following fees:
Should you cancel your wedding booking after the £50.00 booking fee has been received, this is non-refundable and non-transferable to any other service/treatment.
If your booking is cancelled within 90 days of the wedding day, you are liable to pay the full amount due to the likelihood of other work not being undertaken as a result of the booking.
In the unlikely event, I have to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances and where no other suitable alternative can be arranged, a refund of the booking fee will be returned to you. No further compensation will be offered; however, I will do all I can to help find a replacement artist.
If the booking is directly affected by circumstances beyond my control, I will endeavor to rectify such situations; however, no compensation will be offered. The client should take out wedding insurance to cover you against these situations.
If your wedding is postponed or cancelled due to COVID-19 or any other emergency, booking fees remain non-refundable. If your wedding is postponed to a new date in the same year, the prices will remain the same. If it is postponed to the following year, the new year's prices will apply to the booking.
ALLERGIES AND HEALTH CONCERNS
Please inform me at the time of booking if anyone has any known allergies to cosmetic products. I am not liable for any allergic reactions.
Notify me if anyone in the bridal party has cold sores, contagious skin, or eye infections on the wedding day. I reserve the right to not use certain products on affected clients.
Own lipsticks may be necessary for clients with cold sores. I will not be liable for any reactions to the products used.
I have the right to cancel your booking or refuse my services to anyone if deemed to be a hygiene/health risk (e.g., cold sores, colds, or other contagious illnesses).
All of my products, tools, and brushes are cleaned and sanitized after each client.\
FORCE MAJEURE
Neither party shall be liable or responsible to the other party, nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement. This applies to the extent and for as long as such failure or delay is caused by or results from circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the affected party. These circumstances include, but are not limited to: fire, floods, embargoes, war, acts of war (whether declared or not), acts of terrorism, insurrections, riots, civil commotions, strikes, lockouts, or other labor disturbances, acts of God, or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any governmental authority or the other party.
By paying the deposit or paying upfront, the client acknowledges acceptance of the terms and conditions.
