Event bookings are secured upon receipt of a £35, non-refundable booking fee. This confirms the Agreement and secures my availability for the Event on the agreed date and time for the agreed Fee. Please be advised that Elizabeth cannot hold any bookings without the booking Fee being paid.

Enquiries for which a booking Fee has not been paid are not confirmed and therefore availability cannot be guaranteed and an Agreement is not formally in place.

Trial appointments are not set in stone and may be moved as wedding bookings take priority; The time of the trial appointment may be changed or an alternative date will be found.

The Fee is always agreed via e-mail; verbal agreements are not offered as they are not deemed valid by the Make-up Artist.

The Make-up Artist reserves the right to cancel special offers and rates at any time if numbers agreed for the makeup decreases.
