TERMS & CONDITIONS

Please take the time to read our T & C's

​​

• All our quotes are free, and your price is based on what was agreed at your consultation with us. Any additional goods or services provided after the initial quote will be at an additional cost. Quotes are valid for 28 days.

• Amendments to your order can be made up to 4 weeks prior to your event date. After this time, we cannot guarantee meeting your requirements due to staffing, supplier, and shipping limitations.

• To keep our prices reasonable and fair for all our customers we do not hide travel costs within the prices we quote. Instead, we prefer to calculate the cost on an individual basis. We have tried to keep this added cost to a minimum, but we do need to take in to account the travel cost and time involved. A charge of 50p per mile will therefore be added to cover our travel and staff associated costs. The total number of miles will be calculated by the number of journeys needed to deliver and collect equipment (our postcode is S66 9QD). This will be outlined in your quote. Delivery and set up is free within a 5 miles radius for bookings over £150.

• All equipment will be collected by ourselves the day after your event. We will organize this directly with the venue.

• There may be a refundable security deposit when hiring our equipment. This will be refunded to you within 2 working days after we have collected the equipment. If there are any items damaged or missing, the cost will be deducted from your security deposit*.

• A non-refundable 20% deposit is required upon booking to secure your date. The remaining balance must be paid at least 14 days prior to the event. Where a booking is made within 14 days of the event date, the full balance is required upon booking.

• No booking will be fulfilled if the full balance has not been paid. It is the client’s responsibility to ensure that they have cleared their balance before the event date.  Any deposit that has been left is non-refundable and used against associated costs.

• All décor and floral items used in a Venue Dress remain the property of Blue Moon Events unless this has been outlined in the quote as a purchase.

• When booking décor for outdoors please be prepared for the British weather to force a change of plan. We ask that you have a backup plan in mind otherwise, we reserve the right to cancel if we feel it unsafe due to weather conditions being unsuitable.

• Please do not use any adhesives to secure balloons, banners or bunting to our equipment. Any damage caused by adhesives will result in the loss of your security fee. We are always happy to advise clients on alternative methods.

• Please check the details of your quote and inform us of anything that isn’t quite right as soon as possible. If you have any concerns or queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.

• Please use your full name as reference when making payments via bank transfer.

• For Sunday event bookings we have a minimum order value of £100

A note about Helium filled balloons

​

• Balloons by nature can pop. For this reason, we do not recommend feather or confetti filled balloons for tables where you will be dining.

• We use only the highest quality decorating balloons in all our displays. Approximate helium filled balloon float time for indoor use:

  • 11inch latex balloons - 12 – 20 hours

  • 16inch latex balloons - 30 – 40 hours

  • Foil balloons - 3 – 5 days

• If you need your helium filled LATEX balloons to last longer than what is stated above, please let us know so we can add a treatment to your balloons. There is an additional charge of 20p per balloon for this treatment.

• Room temperature and atmospheric conditions have an effect on all balloons and may cause the balloons to shrink in the cold and expand in the heat. Float time may be reduced due to low temperatures. On hot days or if balloons are exposed to direct sunlight, there is a possibility they may pop.

• I will always try to prevent this happening and on occasions of extreme temperatures I will underinflate LATEX balloons to allow for them to expand. This will result in slightly reduced float time but will help to prevent your balloons popping.

• Please inform us if balloons are intended to go outside. Balloons need additional weights to hold them in place when outside.

• If you are collecting balloons from us, we advise that they are taken indoors as soon as possible. Do not leave them in a car or in an outbuilding especially in winter. Foil balloons that are allowed to drop below room temperature will shrink and cause the valve to open resulting in the loss of helium.

• We can not be held responsible for balloons that pop AFTER we have left the venue or when they have left the shop if collected.

​

BALLOON RELEASES

 

Please be aware that we DO NOT inflate balloons that are intended to be released into the sky. We understand that balloon releases are often in the memory of a loved one and we do not want to seem unsympathetic to a request for a balloon release. However, we feel that we have a responsibility to the environment and its wildlife. We can offer alternative memorial balloons that are environmentally friendly so please ask us about these but also, if you have an idea that you would like us to consider then please do speak to us about it.

Thank you for your understanding of this matter. 

 

 

Finally, we would like to thank you for booking with us and we hope that you and all your guests have a fantastic time on the day!
