FAQ
How to book you? What is the booking process?
Once we have had a chat and confirmed on the ensemble, venue, date and timings, we will email you a contract with your booking details and an invoice for a 25% deposit. After the contract is signed electronically, you will receive an invoice for the deposit payment to secure the booking. You can pay this by bank transfer or credit/debit card (a 2% transaction fee applies).
