Answers to the things clients ask me most. Can't find what you're after? Get in touch and I'll help.

Bank transfer, or debit/credit card if that's easier for you.

Get in touch as soon as possible and I'll do what I can to help. Booking fees are non-refundable, but I'll always try to find a solution, including moving your date if I'm able to.
