Weddings Terms & Conditions...


Payment
A non-refundable deposit of £500 is required in order to book a date for your wedding.

One third of the estimated total cost of the wedding is payable 12 weeks prior to your wedding date. Another third is payable 8 weeks before your wedding date, with the final balance due 4 weeks prior to the wedding date, in addition to a security deposit.

Any outstanding amounts such as extra charges to a room, mini bar etc will be payable on check-out or the day of the event whichever is later.    Any payments outstanding from any of your guests and not settled at check-out will also become payable by you.  Final catering choices and numbers will be required 4 weeks prior to the event.  Once confirmed, they can be increased but not decreased.  Payment for any increase will be required before the wedding day.  No refund is available on decreased numbers.

Please note, once made, all payments are non-refundable.  We strongly suggest you take out wedding insurance to cover for any unforeseen circumstances.

We regret that if American Express is used as a payment method for weddings or events a 3% surcharge will be levied.

We reserve the right to charge a penalty clause of 5% of the remaining balance for any monies over due.

Security deposit
We reserve the right to use part or all of your security deposit for the replacement, cleaning or repair of any item(s) belonging to Plas Dinas, or the fabric of the house itself, damaged either wilfully or because reasonable precautions have not been taken. In this event a reasonable amount will be taken from your security deposit without prior consent and the remainder refunded.  The security deposit will be refunded no more than 14 days after the event, allowing time to thoroughly check the building and obtain a report both from the house-keepers and our laundry company.

Please note that your security deposit will be used towards additional cleaning of the building or its grounds should it be deemed to have been left in an unsatisfactory state or not treated with care and respect.

If your security deposit does not cover all damage, we have the right to ask for a further payment from you to be paid within 14 days of the event.

Children
We would ask that if you have children attending your wedding they be properly supervised by an adult at all times.  It is your responsibility to ensure their safety.

Gardens
Please be aware that our grounds contain two ponds & some areas unsuitable for walking on.  Please take care & supervise children at all times.

Smoking
We operate a strict no-smoking policy throughout the building.  Smoking is permitted outside where ashtrays are provided.  If ashtrays are not used, an extra charge may be levied for the cleaning up of cigarette butts.

It is against the law to smoke in a public building.  Out of fairness to the next guest and to maintain our integrity as a clean and non-smoking establishment, please do not smoke in your bedroom.  It is usual for us to charge the guest an extra night’s accommodation if we feel we cannot re-let a room which smells of smoke after their departure.

Bar
Bar service will end at 11:00pm. 

Toilets
As our building is very old, some bathrooms have to be fitted with Sanilav systems.  Warnings are provided above each toilet to advise your guests that nothing other than toilet paper is to be put down them.  As a matter of course, all other toilets should also be treated in the same way as we have a septic tank. Sanitary bags are provided next to all toilets. Should this advice not be adhered to and a toilet becomes blocked by a member of your wedding party, the engineer’s call out fee of £70 will be passed on to you or your guest.

For marquee events, you will be required to hire a luxury mobile toilet facility from our approved supplier.

Confetti
Please refrain from throwing confetti within our grounds, an additional cleaning charge will be made for any confetti thrown.  We realise this may disappoint some couples; however, we feel it is important to maintain the appearance of our gardens for everyone.

We do not allow party poppers and other explosive devices to be let off either in the house or the grounds.

Third Party Involvement
All third parties that you sub contract for elements of your day must be pre-approved by us, for instance, florists, make up artists and hairdressers.  We will need their details, time of arrival and any special requirements they may have.

Décor
Any décor you wish to add to the building or its grounds must be pre-approved by us.

Photographs
We reserve the right to use any photographs we take of your wedding or your guests in our publicity material or on our website.

Alcohol
Members of the wedding party & their guests are not permitted to consume their own beverages not purchased from our bar, alcoholic or otherwise in the building or its grounds, unless by prior arrangement with us.  Failure to adhere to this rule may result in being asked to leave & being charged a corkage charge.  If such a facility is requested in advance of the wedding, a minimum corkage charge per bottle will apply of £10 for table wine and £15 for sparkling wine or champagne. 

Foot wear
Due to the soft wooden flooring throughout the entrance hall & dining room, no stiletto heels are to be worn. Likewise, dancing and running in high heels is forbidden.

Chewing Gum
Chewing gum is not allowed in any part of the building or grounds.

CCTV
The building is equipped with 24 hour recording CCTV in public areas for the safety and security of our guests and premises.

Music / Dancing
Background music can be played throughout the reception rooms and on the terrace.  Should you wish to provide you own choice of music please let us know.  We regret that as we have no function room or area suitable for dancing, the volume will be restricted to background music only.  We do not allow you to bring your own music system or player of any kind.  Dancing is not permitted anywhere within the building.

Miscellaneous
It is your responsibility to communicate the above conditions to your wedding party and guests, as any charges arising from not strictly adhering to the Terms & Conditions will be payable in full by you.

It is your responsibility to liaise directly with the local registrar to arrange attendance for your ceremony and to pay all fees that become due.
