Sole provider of all alcoholic beverages

Blush will be the sole provider of all alcoholic beverages at the event unless previously agreed in writing. It will not be permitted for anyone to consume their own drinks at the event – we are legally responsible for the alcohol licence and consumption at the whole venue. 

 Equipment

Blush will provide all relevant equipment for serving, bartenders, and drinks.

And will require:

a)    A 13amp power supply at or near to the bar location.

Should there be no electric hook-up available on site, previous discussions will need to have taken place for using our generator.

b) Sufficient access to the venue prior to the start of the event to provide and assemble the required goods and equipment and sufficient time between the closing of the bar and having to vacate the venue to enable all goods and equipment to be dismantled, removed, and loaded into waiting vehicle/s.

Booking & Payment 

The booking confirmation fee is a non-refundable charge for booking our services at your event. Booking fees are paid to secure your event date.

Nearer to your event we look forward to holding meetings and conversations together to compile the event details, establishing how your event should run and what drinks are required.  A signed copy of the event details is also required 28 days prior to the event to ensure time for Blush to source, order and take delivery of your chosen drinks.

Full (cleared) payment must be received no less than 28 days prior to the event for all drinks packages/tabs. If payment and a signed copy of the event details are not received from you by this date you will be deemed to have cancelled the contract and the cancellation charges detailed below will apply.

Your event will be subject to a minimum spend of £750, or other amount if pre agreed in writing. If the minimum amount is not reached you will be required to pay the difference at the end of the event.

The only circumstances in which the booking fee is refundable is if the drinks spend at the event including pre purchase drinks/tab and drinks paid for by guests is £1500 or more in which case the booking fee will be refunded to you within 48 hours after your event.

In the unlikely event of the venue and/or the event being refused an alcohol licence the booking fee less any costs incurred in the alcohol licence application process will be refunded to you. In all other circumstances our acceptance of a signed booking form, contract and full payment of the booking fee will constitute a legally binding contract between Blush and the client(s) named on the booking form.

In the case of a free, prepaid bar or prepaid bar tokens should more people attend than have been paid for, adults or children, we will give you the opportunity to pay for the additional guests at the agreed price per head. Such payment must be made immediately. In the unlikely event that we cannot locate you, or you refuse to pay, we reserve the right to close the bar and remove all our goods and equipment with immediate effect.

Parking

We use a combination of vehicles and box trailers; their size and number being governed by the size of the event. Vehicles range in size from Ford Transit to a Smart Car; some vehicles have an extended roofline. We must be able to manoeuvre and park these vehicles close to the venue entry/exit doors for unloading on arrival and reloading at the end of the event. It is therefore essential that no parking restrictions apply that might prevent us from carrying out these activities and that enough space is available to enable us to carry out these tasks. 

Once unloaded, the vehicles can be removed to a suitable parking area – (for security and convenience of storing/collecting reserve stock, must be close to and within the boundary of the venue). Please note: Under no circumstances will we park or unload in any area where our vehicle(s) may be towed away, clamped, locked in or where we may be liable for an endorsed penalty/commit an endorsed offence. The decision of our driver(s) shall be final regarding any issue relating to parking, or vehicle/staff safety. Should any issue arise relating to these matters, our driver(s) will contact you or your appointed event representative (where possible) in order to discuss suitable alternatives.

Disclaimer

Blush does not accept any liability for any failure to provide our services due to an ‘Act of God’ i.e circumstances beyond our control, (including flooding, fire, severe traffic congestion, car/van accidents or breakdown or any foul weather conditions). 

A full refund of the booking fee will be given in such event.

In the event of us being unable to provide your chosen bar style on the day, we reserve the right to supply an alternative bar style. This may occur in the unlikely event of damage to a bar or it’s equipment immediately prior to your event that has proven non-repairable. We would advise where possible prior to our arrival.

We hold a vast selection of drinks. However, if one drink selection is favoured, we may occasionally run out of this item. If you are aware that your guests require an extensive amount of one drink type, we will attempt to increase stock levels to accommodate your requirements.

Pre-purchased drinks packages must be paid for in full at least 28 days prior to the event date. If payment and a signed copy of the event details are not received from you by this date you will be deemed to have cancelled the contract and the cancellation charges detailed below will apply.

In the unlikely event of the venue and/or the event being refused an alcohol licence, the deposit payment (less any costs incurred in the alcohol licence application process) will be refunded.

 If the event is cancelled by you then the booking fee is non-refundable (also refer to cancellation section below).

It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the venue has the correct access for the bar to be placed in position. If the bar service cannot be run due to restricted access, then the booking fee will not be refunded.

Cancellation charges

The booking fee is paid by you to secure your event date and is non-refundable if you cancel at any time.

 In addition, should you cancel our services within 28 days before the event the following charges apply:-

· Less than 7 days prior to the event will result in 100% of all pre-purchased drinks charges retained by us or the full minimum spend will be immediately payable whichever is the higher.
