Option 1. – Only be present when you need them to assist with your timeline Please provide your host with a full timeline and list of your requirements at least 30 days before your event. (announcing cutting the cake etc) Still come down half way through your event to do a general clean & tidy, emptying bins, restocking toilet rolls, change hand towels and altering the sound system. Host will still be contactable throughout your event for anything you require.
Option 2. – Or if you prefer no interference at all from when guests arrive to guests leaving but still would like the host to be fully contactable throughout the event then this is also an option, however if breaches of the terms occur then this would give the host cause to look out over the venue or enter the venue.

15 minutes before your vacate time your host will come down and start on her clean up, this usually ties in with you doing your tidy and clean up, if you have booked and paid for us doing the full pack down and clean up then our host will only come down at your vacate time.
Host turns all the lights off at the end of your event and closes the gate 10 minutes after vacate time,
If under 10 guests are still present after vacate time as they are waiting on a lift or finishing drinks etc then this is all good and can be in the smokers area as all lights in the main area will be switched off and only music from your phone is allowed. There is no fee for this as it’s only a small number and not using our facilities as it’s not continuous with the party, see extra services and fees if you’d like to continue the party
