Wedding Terms & Conditions

Booking Fee

An initial fee of £500.00 confirms your booking. Please note that should you cancel your Wedding, the booking fee is non-refundable. In the unlikely event that your Wedding is cancelled by us, your booking fee will be returned. Receipt of your booking fee indicates an absolute acceptance of our terms and conditions.

Cancellations

If you decide to cancel your booking, the following cancellation charges will apply in addition to the loss of your initial booking fee of £500.00. The booking value of your Wedding will be calculated on the number of your estimated guests. We will take the minimum number in accordance with your chosen wedding package, as detailed on your wedding agreement.

The cancellation charges will include an average drinks-spend figure (calculated per head) for the number of guests that would be in attendance during the course of your Wedding. This is in addition to your chosen drinks package. Any accommodation included in your package or added to your main account will also be included in the charges.

Date of Cancellation prior to your wedding and charges to you:

• More than 12 months - £250.00 administration fee
• 9-12 months - 50% of the booking value
• 6-9 months - 75% of the booking value
• Less than 6 months - Full amount of booking value

All cancellations must be forwarded to the Hotel in writing from the Wedding Couple. Verbal confirmation alone is strictly not accepted. Cancellations cannot be processed until written confirmation has been received.

Payment

Approximately 6 weeks prior to your Wedding, you will be invited to the Hotel to discuss the final details. After that meeting, we will send you a copy of the details, along with a Pro-forma invoice. In your final details meeting, you will make an appointment to pay the final balance which is due no later than 1 week prior to your Wedding.

Please note, there are no reductions for less guests than the minimum number, therefore payments for guest no shows or a decrease in numbers are non-refundable. Additional guests will be charged at an extra cost. The cost for additional guests was confirmed to you on booking and detailed on your Wedding Agreement.

We are happy to accept the following methods of payment:

• Cash
• Cheques
• Debit Cards – We do not accept Credit Card payments
• BACS Transfer

Lazaat does not accept responsibility for loss or damage to any property brought to the Hotel by you and or your guests.
