This is the legal stuff and small print to do with booking a wedding or event with us at The Workshop and Loft.

Where any party to this Agreement for the time being comprises two or more persons, obligations expressed or implied to be made by or with that party are deemed to be made by or with the persons comprising that party jointly and severally.
Venue Hire
1) A wedding booking is considered ‘provisional’ until the booking fee is paid. This means that the date is still available to be booked by someone else but we would attempt where possible to notify you beforehand. No cancellation fees are payable on ‘provisional’ bookings.
