Planning A Bucks During Covid

We genuinely care about our clients have such a passion for what we do – we are sure this has already been demonstrated to you in our work together so far! So grasp a pint of your fave and have a read over the below, and let’s talk planning a bucks alongside all of this Covid business.

 

Note that the info below applies to anyone who has made a booking or is thinking of making their booking anytime on or after the 1st of April 2020!

We get it, Covid is an unpredictable time for all of us and we want to help to put your mind at ease when it comes to booking your event with us. We understand that if you book in your event with us, and the Government Restrictions at the time of your celebration mean that your event can no longer go ahead, it would be really disappointing. The great news is that for all of our clients who are choosing to lock in their dates with a deposit now, we have a few options! Of course, we would have worked alongside you in the process of booking your original date, and as we know you love the package and want to celebrate your buck, we would love to have the pleasure of hosting your event at a future date where the restrictions make it possible! We also understand that isn’t always possible, which is why we have created the options for our clients in this situation, which you can see below:

Option One: We will happily postpone your event to a date of your choosing any time before December 2021. This postponing of your event will be free for you, we won’t charge any fees to do the legwork on our end changing everything over to your new date. To allow for greater flexibility, you can postpone your event with us even if you don’t know the new date yet, and we can hold the deposit forward for the future date when you know it. Of course, as with when we originally booked in your event, the new date and time will be subject to availability on your new chosen date. This allows your group to still look forward to celebrating the groom to be and the bucks with the event you have planned with us, and by postponing your event you are of course supporting us as a local events small business too – so it is a win, win!

Option Two: If your event can’t go ahead due to Government Restrictions at the time of your event, and postponing the event isn’t an option for you, we will provide a full refund of the deposit paid to us. Naturally we would love to continue celebrating our clients by moving forward together with option one, however we understand this isn’t always possible. This is not a normal procedure for us however during this unprecedented time we want to help our clients out as much as we possibly can!

 

 

We’re still waiting on our crystal ball to be delivered, but it seems to have been lost in the post! In all seriousness, whilst we would love to be able to predict what is going to happen on your event date, we simply do not know what the Government Restrictions will look like on your chosen date if it is more than 14 days away. This is why we want to work alongside our clients to offer options like fee-free postponing your event if you don’t want to wait and see if your event will be impacted or how, or if at all. We will keep you posted and up to date on any changes that could impact your booking, and ultimately because things are changing so quickly, on your Final Due Date which is typically a few weeks prior to the event, we will be able to let you know where things stand. We of course rely on the same information as everyone does, we don't have inside information or any other information on upcoming restrictions than what the public do, we rely on the Official Government Restrictions Websites and Official Australian Health Resources to keep up to date info relevant to your celebration. As frustrating as it is, we simply can’t give you a definitive answer on whether or not your event will be impacted in the future. On your Final Due Date we will be able to discuss the current Government Restrictions and how they are looking for your event. The great news is that we have been hosting many awesome events during this time and that the majority of our events have been able to go ahead so that the buck gets to have the epic send off he deserves! Don’t forget, if you do need to make a call on whether the hens will go ahead or not earlier than your Final Due Date, you can see the ‘What if I need to postpone my event?’ question below.

 

We understand that the Covid situation can be really stressful, and that everyone has differing levels of risk and concern. We also understand that some of your guests or groomsman in the party may be vulnerable to Covid and therefore don't want the attend the party after all. If the Government Restrictions do allow your event to go ahead as planned, and you elect to not go because you’re worried about the risk, then we understand and want to offer you an alternative. As long as you let us know on or prior to your final due date with us, we will happily postpone your event to a date of your choosing any time before December 2021. This postponing of your event will be free for you, we won’t charge any fees to do the legwork on our end changing everything over to your new date. To allow for greater flexibility, you can postpone your event with us even if you don’t know the new date yet, and we can hold the deposit forward for the future date when you know it. Of course, as with when we originally booked in your event, the new date and time will be subject to availability on your new chosen date. Note that in this circumstance, where your event can actually go ahead within Government Restrictions however you decide you don’t want to go ahead because of the risk, then we are happy to offer postponement for free, however a refund of your deposit won’t be an option.

We completely appreciate how stressful it would be for the bride and groom to be to have to reschedule their wedding, and we want to help by offering a solution to the hens date too! As long as you let us know on or prior to your final due date with us, we will happily postpone your event to a date of your choosing any time before December 2021. This postponing of your event will be free for you, we won’t charge any fees to do the legwork on our end changing everything over to your new date. To allow for greater flexibility, you can postpone your event with us even if you don’t know the new date yet, and we can hold the deposit forward for the future date when you know it.

Note that in this circumstance, where your event can actually go ahead within Government Restrictions however you decide you don’t want to go ahead at all because the couple have postponed their wedding, then we are happy to offer postponement for free, however a refund of your deposit won’t be an option.

 

 

No, we can't. We take the Covid restrictions very seriously and they are in place to keep you and others safe. We are aware and abide by the same Covid Government Restrictions as you do, so it is important that you know that we are not willing to try and find loopholes or to book half the amount of your people on a booking under a separate name, as some of our clients have suggested. We understand the restrictions are tough - however they are about keeping us all safe. Our venues and suppliers also have their own Government Registered Covid Safe plans which are an important part of safety during this time, and they need to be adhered to. We are happy to work with you and provide advice on what event types and numbers are possible during the current Government Restrictions to ensure everything is above board! We are also happy to work with you should the Government Restrictions change as per our options above.

We understand that unforeseen things may pop up during this unpredictable Covid period, and we want to be able to help our clients navigate this.

We understand that there is never a clear situation or answer on these type of questions as we simply don’t know what the border restrictions or closures will be at the time of your event happening. If the event is unable to go ahead in the state that it was meant to, please see Option One and Option Two above in the first question for options relating to that scenario. If you are in the situation where the event can go ahead with Government Restrictions in the state it was being held, however border restrictions make it impossible for guests or the bridal party to attend, we will gladly work with you to either ensure the event can go ahead on reduced numbers (this may involve changing the inclusions of the package or reducing the minimum numbers and increasing the cost per person, for example, all with consultation with you and presenting you with your options), or of course we will offer you the option to postpone your event to a later celebration date for free.

If your event is still able to go ahead under the Government Restrictions, you have the option to either go ahead and celebrate with the bride as a post-wedding celebration or a lads weekend away (beers anyone?!) and if the existing date for your booking doesn’t still work, we will course we will offer you the option to postpone your event to a later celebration date for free. we will happily postpone your event to a date of your choosing any time before December 2021.

In this instance, you have a few choices of how your proceed. We of course recommend that you watch and wait to see what the applicable Government Restrictions are going to be at the time of your actual event, as trying to predict more than a few weeks into the future is simply heresay. If your event is only able to go ahead with smaller numbers due to Government Restrictions, and your package minimum with us has a higher minimum, we will gladly work with you to either ensure the event can go ahead on reduced numbers (this may involve changing the inclusions of the package or reducing the minimum numbers and increasing the cost per person, for example, all with consultation with you and presenting you with your options), or of course we will offer you the option to postpone your event to a later celebration date for free, so that all of your brides guests can attend. If you do elect to postpone the event due to the restrictions on numbers, we will happily postpone your event to a date of your choosing any time before December 2021. This postponing of your event will be free for you, we won’t charge any fees to do the legwork on our end changing everything over to your new date. To allow for greater flexibility, you can postpone your event with us even if you don’t know the new date yet, and we can hold the deposit forward for the future date when you know it. Of course, as with when we originally booked in your event, the new date and time will be subject to availability on your new chosen date. Note that in this circumstance a refund of your deposit won’t be an option, as you have the option to postpone or for us to rework the package for you with lower numbers. Note that because our venues or suppliers may have their own minimum spends or minimum numbers that are needed for them to be able to facilitate the event, minimum spends may still apply. We will do everything we can to work with you to rework the package and present you with options to suit your circumstance as best as we possibly can.

If your event is able to go ahead with the Government Restrictions at the time of celebration, and you decide to cancel your event anyway, you will loose your deposit. Have a look over our general Terms and Conditions to see our cancellation policy.
