2. Prices and Payment

2.1 To secure your event date with Annie Jowett Limited a non refundable 25% booking fee is required from you, the event commissioner.

2.2 Prices listed within the Annie Jowett Limited wedding and event proposal will remain valid for 14 days from the date sent to you, the event commissioner. Prices in the proposal should be taken as a guide.

2.3 The final invoice for your wedding and event florals will be issued to you after your order has been confirmed. Full payment for the product or service must be received prior to the event or service and no less than 4 weeks before the event.

2.4 Once flowers have been confirmed, any subsequent changes made to a wedding and event order must be submitted in writing by the bride, groom or appointed acting party. Annie Jowett Limited will order your wedding flowers approximately ten to fourteen days before your wedding date, dependent on type of flowers chosen.

We will, however try to make small changes where possible to accommodate your needs.
 

3. Delivery

3.1 Annie Jowett Limited charges for travel at a cost of 85p per mile. For travel times over 60 minutes, a rate of £15.00 per hour, or part thereof will be charged in addition to mileage.

3.2 Incorrect personal details may lead to problems or delays in delivery, so before placing or confirming your order for a product or service, please ensure that you, the event commissioner, have provided full address and telephone details, including accurate postcode of the venue or agreed recipient and your contact telephone number or email address so that we can notify you in the event that any delivery problems are encountered.

4.2 Annie Jowett Limited accept no responsibility for any damage caused by flames or lit candles at an event once we have left the wedding set up. Whilst Annie Jowett Limited can provide candles and candle vessels, it is usually the caterer and/or venue staff that light them and we will not therefore be held accountable for any damage caused by them.

4.3 Annie Jowett Limited accepts no responsibility for failure to collect, wear or use of any arrangements for specific use by the bridal party, i.e. buttonholes or bouquets, once they have been left by our team at the relevant- and pre-agreed venue.  Any oversight to correctly collect and, for example, pin on buttonholes on behalf of the wedding party as a whole, or by an individual, remains the responsibility of said wedding party and/or individual.

4.4 Annie Jowett Limited requires that we are the sole provider of floral arrangements and/or fresh flowers and foliage. If you wish to add your own arrangements, please notify us.

Please note, other than church flower teams, we will not work or partner with any other provider of florals for your event. This is non-negotiable.

6.2 Because of the perishable nature of our products, the event commissioner will be advised upon delivery how to store/care for your product and we ask that you fulfill this.

If a bridal bouquet is supplied, it is to have a water source, tissue paper or gift bag until usage.
 

7. Disclaimer- Ill health, Acts of God or Adverse Weather Conditions

7.1 Whilst we agree to use our reasonable endeavors to ensure that the Annie Jowett Limited service is fully operational and error-free, we cannot guarantee this.

However, in cases of adverse weather we will remain in contact with the event commissioner in the lead up to the event and, if the event is out of season, we will discuss a contingency plan with the event commissioner. We have contingency plans for such occasions of sudden ill health. If Annie Wilcock of Annie Jowett Limited is unable to personally complete or deliver your event, then this will be completed by a member of our experienced freelance team or outsourced accordingly. Ultimately, we can accept no responsibility for Acts of God, sudden ill health or adverse weather conditions and if we are prevented from providing the Annie Jowett Limited service or product as agreed, then we can only offer a refund of full monies paid.
