How to book

Step 1 – Booking Deposit

Once we’ve confirmed availability and set time(s), please pay half the total (excluding expenses) as deposit. Once payment is received we’ll email you with an official booking confirmation/receipt.

  • Please note, it is not an official booking until we have received the deposit payment
  • We may ask for the full payment up-front, for corporate, last minute or international bookings.
  • Deposit payments are non-returnable.
  • We always honour a booking and never accept ‘buy out’ offers (we have a good reputation and wish to keep it!)

Step 2 – Final Payment

Please pay the final half, plus expenses approximately 1 week before the event (We’ll send a reminder along with a final confirmation of all details, just in case there are any changes).

  • We always stick to the agreed price from the time of deposit payment.  The only reason the cost may vary is if a detail (such as location or timing) is changed, and in which case we’ll inform you of this.

Meeting / Venue recce

It is always lovely to meet clients in advance, but not essential (or sometimes even possible where there’s long distance travel). We’re used to performing at all sorts of weird and wonderful venues all around the country and beyond, and all pre-planning can be done via email, phone or zoom.

However, we offer a free meeting at a local venue (often The Jolly Sailor, Bursledon), or at our studio in Hamble. We can meet between Mondays and Thursdays (weekends are a bit too busy for us!).

For meetings or venue visits further away we ask for travel at 45p per mile, plus £25 per hour (including travel time), plus food and accommodation if necessary (to be paid in advance). 

If you have any questions please contact us.
