Questions & Answers

What are your costs ?

All quotations are calculated on an individual basis. This is because every event is different and costs depend on the location of the venue and the time we will be on site. When you complete our easy quote request form we will break down the costs of all required services.

Do you charge VAT ?

We are not VAT registered so the price you are quoted will be the price you pay with no hidden extras.

How much is the deposit ?

Deposits are 25% of the total cost of your required service. The balance on your account is requested upon invoice a month before the event.

How long does it take to set everything up?

We will require 1 hour minimum to set up, sound check and co ordinate the lighting. Sometimes this may be slightly longer if Creative Mood Lighting or Name Projection is being installed. For a small additional charge we can set up before your meal to cut down on the transition time between the end of your speeches and the first dance. We will require 1 hour to pack up and vacate the venue.

Do you need to be provided with a meal or drinks tab ?

Some companies request this as part of their contract, however we do not insist on this. You can be rest assured we will NOT take advantage of your buffet or drinks tab as it is unprofessional.

If I book a dance floor when can this be set up ?

Ideally your dance floor should be set up in the morning or at the very least before your guests arrive at the venue. If it is not possible to lay the floor at this time due to the table arrangements then sometimes we can set up after the meal.

Will I get a signed booking confirmation ?

Choice Entertainment always confirms all bookings by way of a signed contract of service and provides a receipt for all monies paid. For your peace of mind you should insist signed documents from any supplier.

Can we see you play before we book ?
