These terms were last updated: January 2022

Date Holding

Unfortunately we do not hold dates. Due to the significant number of enquiries we receive daily, dates can only be secured with a deposit payment or full payment following the issue of our invoice and in accordance with its terms.

Payment Terms

We ask for 50% non-refundable deposit at point of booking confirmation to secure the date and in order for us to start planning your décor/event. The final balance of 50% of our invoice is payable 7 days prior to the date of the event. Unless your invoice states otherwise in the payment terms, in which case the terms in your payments terms overrules this. Invoice issued payments to be made via bank transfer to the provided bank details found on the invoice. Unless you are ordering via our shop then payments should be made through our site.

Cancellations & refunds

We do not offer refunds. We do however offer one date change if we are given enough notice (4 weeks’ notice minimum.) No refund or credit/date change will be offered if you are cancelling an event any less than 14 days before the agreed date. All outstanding invoices must be paid in full. At this stage it is too late to change or move anything as we would have allocated the team, make and set up time and bought all the items for your event.

Order changes

Unfortunately, we cannot decrease your order value once the deposit has been paid on your order, if you wish to add more to your order please get in touch and we can amend this for you and send the new invoice for the amount.

Styling & Décor

Images sent for inspiration or ideas are only for inspiration purposes, we do not replicate anyone else’s work. On the day your décor will be the highest standard of what Events by MKS and our talented stylists will deliver, we pride ourselves on each and every set up being unique and individual to you. So in some instance we do not even replicate work we have done previously as we always want our clients to have the latest and newest version of our vision and creativity.

Photography & Videography

All photos and videos taken of styling in homes and venues remain the intellectual property of Events by MKS and may be showcased on our social media streams for marketing purposes. Upon booking and deposit payment you are agreeing to exclusive use of this material by Events by MKS. Unless our clients explicitly ask us not to use images taken at their event  prior to deposit payment we will use them on our social media platforms.

Communication

We prefer all communication via email, at times for speed and ease of sharing photos and getting instant answers we also communicate via Whatsapp, phone call and on Instagram direct message. All these forms of communication are part of your order confirmation.

Confectionary

We work with a talented team of bakers, mixologist and caterers, we design, communicate and place orders with them to match you décor requirement and theme. We are not responsible for any allergens or food reactions, you must communicate any special dietary requirements in writing and we will pass this onto our confectionary partners.

Props

Unless previously agreed to be a permanent fixture and priced accordingly as set out on our invoice all our décor items and structures are the property of Events by MKS. All silk and dry florals are used in set ups and are for hire services and only to be used, set up and removed by Events by MKS.

Duration of hire

All our décor set ups can be kept for 24-48 hours unless specifically agreed with us in writing and confirmed that you can keep these for longer. Anything over 3 days will be charged additional rental rates which can be discussed. If access is not given for us to remove our items in the given time we have agreed, there will be charges for the additional days and for us having to rearrange collection plus any loss of business where those items where booked to be used.

Loss or Damage

Any missing or damaged items will be invoiced to you directly, we will send photos of any damages and we take photos and quantities of all items used. Please ensure all our decor items are treated with respect and kept damage/stain free.

Parking & Access

We may require parking on-site or close by with easy access to offload our van and the décor items. Please specify at point of booking what access we have to the venue/your property.

Size & Dimensions

We agree a look, and discuss a size based on photos and details you have provided us. When we arrive at the venue, we will discuss with you if we feel there is a better place for the décor which will make more logistical and creative sense. We want you to end up with the most beautiful set up so we always have aesthetics at the forefront of our minds when we make suggestions.  Please note we do not quantify florals or balloons for costing, we place based on how plentiful it looks for the price range agreed. Our florals and balloons are organic designs and can take any shape or form that looks best for your event and within that space.

Conduct

We take pride in our client interaction and go out of our way to ensure the planning, design, installation and take down of your event/décor is to the highest quality. We will not tolerate rudeness or abuse to any member of our team or partners.

Set Up

We take pride in our decor installations and will need some allocated time to all for this, the duration will vary depending on the size and style of the set up. An agreed time would be set for installation, if we are unable to gain access to the venue/ your property this will have an impact on set times and a charge for additional time may be charged.

Pack-down

Unless we otherwise agree that you are keeping the items, the invoice will stipulate whether or not it includes the pack-down of the décor that has been set up for your event. Pack down is the removal of our products that have been hired. Other than removing our items from the venue/your home we are not responsible for cleaning up after the event.

Outdoor installations

The British weather is unpredictable so please ensure you always have a plan B if you have booked an outdoor installation with us. We do not provide weather cover, this would need to be hired separately by yourselves. We can however discuss changes to location of the decor within your space if the weather turns bad. Usually having an indoor option is a safe back up plan. If you have booked an outdoor installation you need to ensure the ground is not wet for any low level picnic or cushions and rugs. If the ground is too damp we will set up the picnic table somewhere else that’s dry. No one wants to sit on muddy, damp cushions! If we deem any outdoor area hazardous or could cause damage to our hire items we will have to discuss alternative location for the set up.

Balloon & installation quality

We use the best products on the market, however due to the perishable and sensitive nature of balloons both latex and foil be aware that you may get some balloons bursting or deflating. We always give you a plentiful look and leave some spares to fill any gaps should the display need it. Temperature (hot or cold), humidity, rain and sunlight can alter the look of the balloon colour and even cause them to burst. We cannot guarantee that the displays will stay completely intact. Please be aware all our displays are organic in shape which means if there is any bursts or deflation it won’t look out of shape.

Shop

All items bought from our Events by MKS online shop will be posted out no later than 7 days after purchase. Items are non-returnable. This does not affect your statutory rights.
