It’s the responsibility of the person booking that they make themselves familiar with, understand and accept responsibility for all the booking terms and conditions.
PAYMENTS
Payment of a non-refundable booking fee is required to secure your wedding date. This will be deducted from your final balance.
A date cannot be held without a booking fee and the requested date will still be open to other enquiries.
Payment is due on the day of the trial.
Final and remaining balances set out on your invoice are due 2 weeks prior to the wedding date.
You agree that by paying your non-refundable booking fee you are agreeing and accepting Emma Mc Greevy business terms and conditions.
Failure to make payments within the agreed time frame, may result in the cancellation of your booking.
I have a minimum spend of €290 for my services during peak season due to popular demand. The minimum spend does not include your bridal trial or travel. This is made up with bride makeup plus two bridal party makeup. If you are looking for a bride only service, you are very welcome to book but must pay the minimum fee.

TRIALS
Trials are offered only once a booking fee for the wedding day has been made.
Trials are held at my home in Sutton, Dublin. Free parking is available outside or if you are travelling via train, Sutton and Howth DART station are close by.
IF YOU (THE CLIENT) CANCEL OR CHANGE THE BOOKING
A minimum of 48 hours’ notice must be given if you wish to cancel fully/part of a trial booking. Refunds will not be given after this time and a new trial will need to be booked and paid for. In emergency situations please call Emma.
Payments for work that has already been carried out is non-refundable.
Three months-notice is needed to notify of any changes to your booking by reducing them. Additional services can only be accepted if time/resources allow and reductions made after this time will still be payable in full.
Postponements can only be accepted with no further fees should the new rescheduled date fall within the same year of the initial wedding date or if it falls on a week date (Mon-Thurs) a maximum of 1 year later.
In the unfortunate event that you have to cancel your booking completely:
· Cancelling within 3 months of the agreed wedding date = 50% of the remaining balance still due by the original due date.
· Cancelling 1 month or less to the wedding date = 100% of the balance is still due by the original due date.
In the event that the booking falls within a period of lockdown (whereby events are legally not allowed to take place) due to Covid-19 or related pandemic, your booking can be moved to another date providing I am available. Should I not be available for the new date, any monies paid, excluding the booking fee and trial payment (if taken place) will be refunded.
IF I (THE MAKE UP ARTIST) CANCEL OR CHANGE THE BOOKING
In the unfortunate event that Emma is unable to attend on the day due to illness or for last minute unforeseen circumstances, all efforts will be made to find an alternative artist to stand in.
In the unlikely event that we cannot find a replacement artist, monies (excluding money paid for work already carried out) will be fully refunded.
If an assisting artist is needed for large parties and they are unable to attend we may ask for an earlier start time to accommodate original numbers, or services forfeited will be refunded.
Emma McGreevy reserves the right to cancel a booking following a trial, without a refund of the deposit, in circumstances where the client is uncooperative/makes it difficult to carry out our work.
If Emma or an assistant artist is made to feel uncomfortable in any way, or mistreated, or if anyone becomes abusive/violent or displays any offensive behaviour, we have the right to cancel without refund there and then.
IN THE EVENT OF DELAYS ON THE WEDDING DAY
In the event that we experience unforeseen delays on the day which are out of our control due to clients being late/not being ready when we need them or by not following our instructions to carry out efficient work, refunds will not be given.
In the event that one or more services are forfeited as a result - no compensation will be offered if we over-run.
If you are aware of factors, which could delay or hinder our journey, please advise us as soon as possible so we can factor this into our route.
