Booking Form And Contract For Weddings 

How To Book For Your Wedding

• Please complete this Online Booking Form and Contract as far as you can n.b. some details may be irrelevant or may be undecided or unknown at the time of booking. Then submit it by clicking on the “Send” box.

• If you prefer you can download this printable version of the Booking Form and Contract (PDF document)

• Post the printable version or send a scan or photograph (smartphones & tablets are fine) of the first and last pages by email attachment to Ashton Lamont.

• Pay your Retainer (Deposit) of £100. The retainer (deposit) may be lower at my discretion e.g. for some short notice / short duration special offers. Please ask n.b. the remaining balance is usually due no later than six weeks before the date of your wedding. For short notice and small / micro wedding and event bookings the balance will be payable on or shortly after your wedding day.

• I will confirm your booking for your records.

• Details are re-checked for changes nearer to your wedding date.

• References to weddings also apply to blessings, civil partnerships, and renewal of vows. "1st Party" and "2nd Party" may be substituted for "Bride" and "Groom".

• Cash payments: I have declined payments in cash for several years because there are now no high street bank branches within a two hour round trip (including parking) in which I can deposit cash. And Post Office queues can be very lengthy. Many wedding vendors including hair and makeup, DJ's, live bands, chauffeurs, church fees & organists etc continue to require cash. My preferred method is online bank transfer or Paypal but if you prefer to settle up in cash I will now accept. This helps me in scenarios in which clients love their photos and videos but can take forever to settle up online - on some occasions several weeks have elapsed!

Payment Methods

• Bank transfer: The preferred method (transfers are free whereas Peter is charged for PayPal at 3.5% of the amount e.g. £20.83 for £595!)

• PayPal: Via the Ashton Lamont website or by PayPal transfer

• Cheque: For NatWest Direct Business Banking. Payee "Peter Riding trading as Ashton Lamont"

• Cash

Your retainer ("deposit") and either the online or printable PDF version of the Booking Form and Contract are required to secure your date. The retainer is part of the total cost of your wedding plan n.b. it is NOT in addition to the cost of your plan. The retainer is refundable during your 14 day "cooling off" period
