Postponements are considered in the event of hospitalization, treatment of a severe illness, or a traumatic experience that renders the CLIENT unfit to proceed with the scheduled event.
Each event will be dealt with on an individual basis since circumstances are rarely ever the same. Consideration will be given to each CLIENT, to best find a suitable resolution that works for all parties involved, including all suppliers contracted for the event.
Postponements will only be granted if any of the following has an impact on the scheduled event:
in the event of a national lockdown preventing social gatherings from taking place.
if gatherings are restricted to less than 50 people.
if the national curfew is set before 9 pm.
if no alcohol may be sold, or if the bar operating hours are set to end prior to 7 pm.

in the event of hospitalisation or treatment of a severe illness or a traumatic experience that renders the client unfit to proceed with the scheduled event. this policy also extends to the client’s immediate family (children, mothers, fathers, and siblings) a letter from the hospital or medical practitioner is required to confirm authenticity.
A postponement will not be granted for inconveniences related to travel arrangements and travel expenses. The CLIENT will only be granted one postponement, with no venue hire rate increase in the events related to the above. Please take note that clients could be subject to other rate increases related to staff fees, overtime, bar increases, catering etc. An administration fee of R5 000 will be levied for each postponement.
