Booking Confirmation
A booking is confirmed upon electronic signature of these terms + conditions as well as receipt of an initial non-refundable 25% payment. This initial payment is non-refundable. It is compensation for our work done to date and is required to secure our services for your date because it precludes us from booking another event on your event date. This payment will be deducted from the total owing.
Signing this agreement confirms you have proofread and approved all the details of your event. Changes to the quote can be made under the conditions outlined in the “Changes to Quote” section.

Upon accepting this quote, you are agreeing to the items and to the total value listed. Should you wish to make changes to the items in this quote, we require a minimum of 30 days notice before your event date. However, please note, the final quote amount cannot be reduced by more than 10% from the original agreed upon estimate. Changes to your event date and venue can only be made under the conditions listed in the “Rescheduled & Relocated Events” section. All changes must be made in writing to [email protected]
Event Cancellations
If the client decides to cancel this agreement, it must be done in writing to [email protected] at least 30 days before the event. Events cancelled within 30 days of the event date remain payable in full, regardless of the circumstance. If you cancel your event and provide more than 30 days notice, the initial payment made remains non-refundable. Moneys paid above and beyond the initial 25% payment will be refunded. We reserve the right to cancel the contract at any time. In this instance, you are entitled to a full refund (including the initial 25% payment).
Rescheduled & Relocated Events
The client must advise of any change to the event venue or event date in writing to [email protected]
We will do our best to accommodate new dates or location changes however we cannot guarantee our availability. If we are unavailable on your new event date, or are unable to accommodate your change of venue, the initial 25% payment made remains non-refundable.
If we are available on your new event date, or able to accommodate your venue change, the initial payment made will be transferred to the new date. A new contract and quote will be drawn up taking into account the changed circumstances. For instance, wholesale product prices fluctuate through the season, delivery and hourly wages vary depending on venue set-up requirements.
Price Variations
Debra Hayes Floral reserves the right to amend or change the pricing outlined in this quote in the event of cost changes beyond our control (e.g. wholesale flower prices). We will make every effort to honour the original agreed price, however the current volatile nature of shipping (national/international) dramatically affects wholesale flower prices. Any price increases will be formally advised to you in writing and a recommendation provided to the client at least 14 days prior to your event date.
Product Substitution & Availability
All flowers and foliages are subject to seasonal quality and availability.
Unfortunately we cannot guarantee availability, exact colours or shades of specific product. When working with Mother Nature, there are no guarantees. Unseasonably warm, wet or cool seasons have a dramatic impact on flower and foliage availability. Regardless of the availability of specific products, we will always adhere to the agreed colour palette and style of floral design, as outlined in our supplied design inspiration. We reserve the right to substitute all products to ensure the highest quality ingredients are used. If needed, a final consultation can be arranged to discuss alternative options.
Containers and vases may change due to supplier issues, we will substitute the selected product with items of greater or equal value, in line with the overall look and feel for the event. Refunds will not be given for minor changes in flower type or appearance.
