the quote online, also acts as acceptance to the terms and conditions of this agreement below. After
acceptance of quotation, we will then send you an invoice for a deposit payment of 20%. Payment
details are displayed on the invoice. Once the deposit is paid, the event is secured, however, if
the deposit remains unpaid, we reserve the right to continue taking enquires for that date.
