Frequently Asked Questions

Three to six months is comfortable for a wedding, and a fortnight is often enough for everything else. Peak Saturdays in summer go first, so a date already in the diary is worth asking about early — but short notice is normal work, not an imposition.

It comes down to four things: how many players, how many times you need them during the day, how far they travel, and the date. A Saturday in peak season costs more than a Thursday in February, so the honest answer is a range until we know the shape of your event.

Pick it by the room rather than the guest count. A solo player carries a ceremony or a drinks reception where conversation still has to happen over the top; a full group is for an entrance you want everyone filming.

Yes to travelling, and no to a separate charge — travel is quoted inside the figure you are given rather than added afterwards. Where we go and what that costs is settled before you agree anything, so the number you are given is the number you pay.

Yes, taken when the date is held rather than when you first enquire. The amount and whether it is refundable are set out on the pricing page, and they match our terms word for word.

Yes, and we send them directly to the venue rather than to you to forward. Cover amount, PAT status and risk assessments are listed under compliance, so an events team can check before they ask.

A dep covers the booking, and you are told who before they arrive. Working players keep a network of deps behind them precisely for this, which is why a booking is with the group rather than resting on one person being well.

Yes — destination work has its own page with the detail that matters to it. Kit, insurance and the paperwork a venue abroad asks for are all arranged before you fly, and it is quoted as one figure rather than a fee plus expenses.
