Zero. The service is 100% free to the client β no booking fees, no retainer, no hidden costs. Venues pay us a commission, which means our rates are typically the same or better than what you would get directly. You see net rates, full T&Cs, and we negotiate on your behalf.

We work with vetted entertainment suppliers (live bands, DJs, magicians, casino tables, photo booths) where requested, and verify accessibility compliance, fire safety and insurance for every shortlisted venue.
What if we need to cancel or change date?
We negotiate flexible terms wherever possible β reduced deposits, date-change rights, cancellation-insurance recommendations. We have your interests in the room.
