EVENT DETAILS CONFIRMATION
To ensure that we cater appropriately for correct numbers, menus and requirements, and beverage arrangements, must be discussed with the function coordinator no less than 21 days prior to the function start date. Final numbers must be confirmed via email no less than 14 days for the party unless otherwise indicated. The final balance is based on the final guaranteed quoted numbers. Should numbers fall below the advertised minimum then the price increases and at time of final payment your invoice will be adjusted accordingly to compensate for the shortfall. Should guests that have paid on the night not turn up, monies for these non attendees will not be refunded. We don't refund for no shows or last minute on the day cancellations. We only refund for non-attendees if your guest cancels prior to 28 days (see cancellation policy). Late attendees are accepted in certain circumstances; however Queens must be notified no less than 72 hours to the function. Payment arrangements for the late attendees must be made upon consultation with the venue coordinator at time of notification. Any late attendees arriving at the event and payment has not been received, the result will be asked to leave.
EXPECTATION OF CLIENT AND GUESTS
It's unfortunate that this policy has to be written, but Queens does not tolerate abusive, bad manners, rudeness or intolerance to staff prior to or at any events whatsoever. We definitely don't tolerate Bridezillas or Bridesmaidzillas, nor clients that refer to us as "the help". We also don't tolerate consummation of drugs on premises of any kind. At Queens it is our first and foremost priority to ensure the safety of our staff and our guests. We only encourage smiles, laughing, good manners and politeness at all times. Should our staff be subject to any of the above the offending person will be asked to leave, and any objection the police will be notified. No refunds will be permitted at all should this occur. Queens staff enforces RSA at all times and reserve the right to refuse to serve any person who is drinking to fast, drunk, disorderly, on drugs or objectionable or unreasonable. It is the utmost responsibility of the client to ensure that their guests conduct themselves in an orderly manner at all times. We don't serve alcohol to minors so please don't ask us either.
​

Queens Event Space and all employed staff assume no responsibility or liability for any damages to any property of the client, injury or harm caused during the function to the client and/or guests or attendees of the function, or through use of venue or its equipment, consummation of beverages or food supplied by Queens Event Space for the client and guests/attendees. Queens Event Space will not accept responsibility for damage or loss of any items left on premise during, before or after the function. The client 'indemnifies' Queens event Space, from and against all costs, claims, expenses and losses suffered or incurred by the client, guests or attendees to the function. Public policy insurance is in place, we suggest you organize your own insurance for your guests if you feel the need to.
